  • Oversee weekly ordering and forecasting processes, anticipating risks, and creating innovative contingency plans.
  • Work cross-functionally with Inventory, Warehouse, Transport, Planning, Labour Management, Finance, and Marketing to ensure accurate and timely communication.

Who You Are:

  • Proven track record of delivering successful operational transformation projects.
  • Strong analytical skills with advanced Excel; SQL and Python are advantageous.
  • Skilled in data visualisation (Tableau ideal) and summarising quantitative insights for decision-making.
