Job description

Tangle Teezer is a global brand on a simple mission: to give everyone healthier‑looking hair with less breakage since 2007. Our gentle brushes are tools for every hair type—from straight to coily—and every routine, helping you go from detangling and blow‑drying to styling. Our products are your daily dose of confidence, ready to take on whatever tangles life throws your way.

Tangle Teezer is a proud brand within BIC World, a community of iconic and inventive brands that have created simple, joyful products for over 75 years. As part of BIC World, we’re dedicated to reimagining everyday essentials in new, sustainable, and responsible ways.

Our culture thrives on a roll‑up‑your‑sleeves mindset, empowering self‑starters and innovators to take ownership of their careers and make a meaningful, global impact.

The role

As the Demand Planner you will be responsible for ensuring accurate forecasts are created and maintained for Tangle Teezer’s Direct markets using historical trends, sell‑through data and sales plans. You will collaborate with Sales, Marketing and Operations, own the forecast, ensure high levels of forecast accuracy, optimise stock and highlight risks or opportunities versus the financial budget.

In this role you’ll get to:

• Create accurate rolling 18‑month demand forecasts using customers’ inventory and sell‑through data, historical trends and best‑practice planning methodology.
• Work closely with internal commercial and/or distributor partner planning teams.
• Use statistical data and modelling to generate forecasts where robust forecasts aren’t available.
• Collaborate with the Production & Purchasing Planner to ensure the agreed demand plan is achievable – production capabilities and capacity – and work with the Customer Experience team to fulfil customer needs.
• Highlight any risks or opportunities versus the financial plan in the monthly Sales & Operations Planning process.
• Input into the product lifecycle management process and review ABC classifications.

What we are looking for in you:

• Two high‑potential people keen to grow with Tangle Teezer – able to problem‑solve in novel situations and actively learn from and grow with experience.
• 2 years+ experience in Demand Planning, Supply Planning or Operations.
• Excellent analytical and numerical skills with natural high attention to detail.
• Proficient Excel user with aptitude to develop skills further.
• Strong communication skills, ability to work effectively with a wide range of stakeholders.
• Proactive, can‑do attitude and desire to improve processes and outputs.

Nice to have:

• Experience with Dynamics NAV, AGR or other MRP desirable.
• Experience working with Amazon advantageous for Direct role.

What it means to be part of Tangle Teezer:

• Proud: We are passionately proud to do things differently, so we perform brilliantly – just like our hair tools.
• Authentic: We welcome everyone as they are, we bring our true selves to work and show up as who we want to be.
• Champion: We are champions of one another, our brand, and our environment.

The good Stuff

• Flexible working hours with core hours from 10am to 4pm.
• Working 2 days in the office and 3 days from home.
• Performance‑related bonus of 10% based on annual salary.
• Salary starting from £40k.
• 27 days holiday, with the option to buy holiday days.
• 2 volunteering days per year.
• 10 days working from any location of your choice.
• Flexible bank holidays – choose the standard bank holidays or swap them for dates that are more meaningful to you.
• Free in‑office massages.
• Enhanced family policies.
• Supportive Period & Menopause Policies.
• Enhanced pension scheme.
• Life assurance at 4x your salary.
• Private medical insurance.
• Medical cash plan for everyday healthcare needs.
• Cycle to Work Scheme.
• Meeting‑free Fridays with an early 4:00 pm finish to kickstart your weekend.
• Pet friendly office – bring your furry friend to work with you.
