Job Description

The opportunity

We’re exclusively supporting the hire of a Merchandise Planning Manager into a newly created, high-impact role within a complex, multi-site, multi-channel environment.

This is a rare opportunity to build and shape a planning function from the ground up, with real influence across commercial, supply chain and financial performance.

Ideal for someone from a merchandise, demand or commercial planning background looking to step into a broader, more strategic role.

What you’ll do

  * 

    Build and implement a best-in-class planning framework

  * 

    Own demand forecasting and create a clear, data-led demand signal

  * 

    Align commercial, supply chain and financial plans

  * 

    Improve forecast accuracy, stock turn and working capital

  * 

    Introduce and lead S&OP / IBP processes

  * 

    Support range planning, promotions and seasonal activity

  * 

    Provide commercial insight and challenge to decision making

  * 

    Develop clear reporting, KPIs and planning governance

Who we’re looking for

  * 

    5+ years’ experience in a planning role (e.g. merchandise, demand or commercial / inventory planning)

  * 

    Experience within multi-site, multi-channel retail, wholesale or similar environments

  * 

    Strong understanding of margin, stock, availability and working capital

  * 

    Advanced analytical capability (Excel / planning tools)

  * 

    Experience building or improving planning processes

  * 

    Ability to influence senior stakeholders cross-functionally

  * 

    Leadership experience

The 'nice to haves' but certainly not essential

  * 

    Experience in consumer goods, electricals or similar product-led environments. Exposure to distributed, franchise or partner-led models

Why this new role really appeals?

  * 

    Build a function from the ground up

  * 

    High visibility and real commercial impact

  * 

    Strategic role with hands-on ownership

  * 

    Collaborative, forward-thinking environment
