Range Planning Manager

Drive the range. Influence the future.

We're looking for a commercially minded Range Planning Manager to take ownership of the range planning and review process across a large and fast-moving wholesale business.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with experience in range planning, category management, assortment planning or commercial project management who enjoys working across teams and turning insight into action.

You'll work closely with Buying and Category teams, coordinating Supply Chain, Operations, Depots and other key stakeholders to make sure range changes are delivered successfully, on time and with a clear commercial and customer benefit.

What you'll be doing

• Lead annual and periodic range reviews across your assigned categories.
• Develop plans, timelines and milestones to ensure reviews are delivered effectively.
• Work with Buying and Category teams to use customer, sales and category insight to inform range decisions.
• Coordinate the introduction of new products, delistings and range changes across the business.
• Manage implementation plans, stock run-down and depot readiness.

• Proactive, collaborative and someone who enjoys taking ownership.

Experience within retail, wholesale, grocery, convenience or FMCG would be highly desirable, particularly if you understand supply chain or operational environments.

What's in it for you?

This is more than a role focused on spreadsheets and range files. You'll have the opportunity to influence commercial decisions, work with senior stakeholders and see your recommendations implemented across a large-scale operation.

You'll join an established, successful and diverse international business that offers the scale and variety to build a rewarding career.

You'll receive:

• Pension
• Private Medical
