Main Responsibilities:
* Build strong, collaborative relationships with customer supply chain teams and internal sales colleagues, working to continuously improve service levels and forecast accuracy.
* Drive forecasting excellence by aligning demand and supply plans with customer needs across short-, mid- and long-term horizons, while collaborating cross-functionally to ensure a smooth and efficient order-to-delivery process.
* Where appropriate, spend time in customer head offices to strengthen alignment, partnership, and joint ways of working.
* Lead customer service improvement initiatives, identifying opportunities and delivering projects that enhance performance and customer satisfaction.
* Act as a trusted partner to customers and internal stakeholders, championing long-term relationships built on trust, clear communication, and shared objectives, ensuring customer service excellence remains central to all activities.
About You:
* We are looking for a confident relationship builder with strong influencing skills and the ability to operate effectively across internal and external stakeholders.
* You will bring at least 18 months’ experience within an FMCG Customer Supply Chain environment, managing large accounts and delivering measurable improvements, alongside a solid understanding of supply chain operations, forecasting, sales processes, and category management.
* You will be highly analytical and data-driven, with advanced PC skills, particularly in Excel and PowerPoint, and a continuous improvement mindset.
* SAP experience is desirable but not essential, as training will be provided.
