If you're confident with tools like Excel, Power Bi or ERP systems, that's great - but curiosity, collaboration, and a customer-first mindset matter most.

• Developing our Relex solutions to deliver strong availability, lower inventory and efficiencies in both our stores and distribution centre
• Turn data into clear insights that help us make better decisions.
• Work with colleagues and suppliers to improve availability and reduce waste.
• Onboarding new users and providing ongoing assistance.
• Lead seasonal strategy changes in Relex
• Support retail planning and promotions with accurate forecasting.
• Share knowledge and develop the teams understanding.

What We're Looking For:

An expert user of the RELEX Solutions supply chain planning software, acting as the go-to person for training, support, system configuration, troubleshooting, and bridging the gap between business needs and IT, ensuring optimal use of RELEX for inventory, demand forecasting, and replenishment in retail or food industries. They possess strong soft skills like stakeholder engagement and deep operational knowledge to drive efficiency and performance.

Key skills of a RELEX Super User:

• Subject Matter Expert (SME): Deep understanding of the RELEX system's functionalities.
• Training & Support: Onboarding new users and providing ongoing assistance.
• Issue Resolution: Collaborating with IT and consultants to fix problems.
• Configuration: Making system adjustments (like business rules) to meet business goals.
• Stakeholder Liaison: Communicating between business teams and technical experts.
• Driving Adoption: Ensuring the company maximizes the benefits of the software.
