Job description

Overview

We have a fantastic opportunity for someone with experience gained within a busy, international supply chain/logistics operation and knowledge of planning software, to undertake a 12 month FTC as a Demand Planning Assistant.

This exciting role will assist our Merchandising Department in planning so we have the right stock in the right places whenever we need it.

The right person will be adaptable and happy to support the planning team in a range of tasks such as raising and maintaining sales & purchase orders across the business network and supporting with a range of queries from across the business. You will be able to help investigate any exceptional stock shortages and work with the merchandise planners to resolve any data or product issues.

We are looking for someone with excellent communication skills as you will manage the inbox to ensure queries are responded to quickly and efficiently.
