Job summary

Mous is seeking a Category Planning Lead to run the monthly S&OP cycle for Travel end to end, owning forecast, IOQ and launch plans across UK, Pakistan and China. You will partner with Commercial, Marketing, Ecommerce, Product, Production, Procurement, Logistics and Retail to protect availability and optimize stock levels.

You will report to the S&OP Manager, mentor one Demand Planner, and shape the evolving S&OP process as the category expands with new launches.

Qualifications

5–8 years of experience in demand planning, category planning or S&OP, including proven ownership of a monthly cycle end to end.
Advanced Excel capability — comfortable handling large datasets, building models, and turning data into clear insight.
Hands-on Power BI (or equivalent) capability — able to build, specify and defend KPI dashboard logic, not just read the output.
Able to quantify the trade-off between availability and overstock or obsolescence, and present it to senior stakeholders.
Working understanding of production and supply constraints (MOQ, lead times, capacity, freight mode) and warehouse / 3PL stock flows.

Responsibilities

Own the monthly S&OP cycle for Travel end to end, from performance review through demand and supply planning to executive sign-off.
Maintain the demand forecast for the category, working with the Demand Planner to update it each cycle.
Keep the forecast aligned with Commercial so strategy, pricing and campaign changes are reflected in the plan before they affect performance.
Own inventory health — ordering enough stock, arriving on time, to eliminate stock‑outs while avoiding overstock and obsolescence.
Own the initial order quantity (IOQ) and launch forecast for new products, presenting volume, stock cover and cash exposure scenarios for decision, then monitoring performance post‑launch.
Own the category KPIs — Availability, Forecast Accuracy and E&O — and maintain the KPI dashboard with the Demand Planner.
Own the weekly allocation of stock to warehouses once mass production completes, and all inter‑warehouse transfers.
Own the inbound and outbound forecast for the 3PL, and the forecast for consumable items (e.g. mailer bags).
Coordinate across Commercial, Marketing, Data, Ecommerce, Product, Production, Procurement, Logistics, Retail and the Senior Leadership Team.
Line manage, coach and develop one Demand Planner.
