Job description

We are seeking a Corporate Planner who can translate business data into clear, measurable recommendations that support management decisions.

You will analyze operational and financial performance across connected business functions, with particular focus on Purchasing, Inventory, Warehouse, and Logistics. Your work will help management understand where performance gaps originate, what they mean for the business, which actions deserve priority, and how progress should be measured.

This opportunity suits someone who combines strong analytical skills with commercial judgment, carefully examines evidence, and can clearly communicate practical recommendations to senior management.

Key Responsibilities

Business Performance Analysis

• Consolidate and validate information from relevant departments, resolving inconsistencies and clarifying assumptions before drawing conclusions.
• Analyze actual performance against agreed targets, plans, and prior periods to identify trends, gaps, risks, and opportunities.
• Examine the connections between demand, purchasing, supplier performance, inventory, warehouse activities, and delivery outcomes.
• Investigate potential causes of performance issues through data analysis and discussions with process owners, clearly distinguishing supported findings from hypotheses and information gaps.

Financial Analysis and Management Recommendations

• Quantify the business implications of performance issues, including operating costs, inventory investment, working capital, service performance, and resource utilization.
• Develop business cases for proposed initiatives and investments, assessing expected benefits, costs, resource requirements, risks, and alternatives.
• Recommend priorities based on business impact, urgency, implementation requirements, and available resources.
• Prepare concise management reports and presentations that explain the problem, supporting evidence, financial implications, recommended action, and decision required.

Performance Monitoring and Coordination

• Develop and maintain practical management dashboards and key performance indicators, working with stakeholders to agree on definitions, data sources, and reporting frequency.
• Facilitate performance discussions with relevant departments and validate explanations against available evidence.
• Translate approved recommendations into monitoring plans with agreed owners, measures, milestones, and deadlines.
• Track implementation progress and results, highlighting delays, emerging risks, or changes that require management attention.
• Work with Finance and the responsible departments to validate expected benefits and assess whether approved initiatives deliver their intended results.

Qualifications and Capabilities

• Relevant professional experience in corporate planning, business analysis, financial analysis, performance management, supply chain analysis, or a related field.
• Demonstrated ability to turn operational and financial information into clear recommendations for management.
• Strong spreadsheet and analytical skills, including data validation, variance analysis, financial calculations, and presentation of findings.
• Ability to assess business costs, expected benefits, investment proposals, and competing priorities.
• Practical understanding of how purchasing, inventory, warehousing, and logistics affect one another.
• Experience preparing management reports, dashboards, business cases, or action-monitoring tools.
• Clear written and verbal communication, including the ability to present complex findings concisely to senior stakeholders.
• Ability to work across departments, ask constructive questions, and challenge assumptions using evidence.
• Relevant education or training in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred Experience

• Experience in food, bakery, retail, distribution, manufacturing, or businesses operating across multiple locations.
• Exposure to inventory analysis, supplier performance, logistics costs, capacity analysis, or working-capital management.
• Experience with Power BI or similar reporting and business-intelligence tools.
• Familiarity with ERP systems or other sources of operational and financial data.
• Experience evaluating investment proposals and tracking the benefits of approved business initiatives.
