If you feel energised by cross-functional collaboration and shaping better planning decisions, this role could be a meaningful next step.

To be successful in this role, you:

• Bring at minimum 2 years of experience in Demand Planning, S&OP, Promotion Planning or Commercial Planning, preferably within retail, FMCG or consumer goods. (note this is not a senior role, but one where you can grow!)
