Demand & Supply Planning Support

• Partner day to day with the demand and supply planners, providing the data, backtests, and diagnostics required to make better forecasting and replenishment decisions

Continuous Improvement & Automation

• Scope and drive supply chain planning improvement initiatives over time, from streamlining reporting through to enhancing forecasting and replenishment methodology and tooling
• Automate recurring analysis and reporting in Python to reduce manual planning effort and free team capacity for judgement-based work
• Document and standardise planning processes, definitions, and calculations so the team scales cleanly as its remit grows
• Translate complex analysis into clear, concise recommendations for both technical and non-technical audiences
• Partner cross-functionally with Merchandising, Finance, Operations, and Technology to align on data definitions and business context
• Present findings and recommendations to senior stakeholders with clarity and appropriate confidence in the underlying data
