- Drive continuous improvement across supply chain planning systems and processes
What We’re Looking For
- Strong analytical and problem-solving capability
- Experience within food manufacturing, meat, FMCG, or supply chain planning
- Experience using supply chain planning / optimisation tools
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
- Ability to operate effectively in evolving or low-maturity environments
- Advanced Excel, dashboard reporting, and PowerPoint skills
- Experience with scenario modelling and data-driven planning
- Qualifications & Experience
- Degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, Mathematics, Agriculture, or similar
- Experience working with supply chain planning and optimisation systems
