Do you enjoy spotting patterns in the data, solving supply chain puzzles, and making sure customers always get what they need, when they need it?

We’re looking for a Group Demand Planner to join a busy supply chain team in Marden. This is a newly created role, so you’ll have the chance to make it your own, shape responsibilities as the position develops, and be part of a function that’s critical to the company's growth.

You’ll be joining one of the UK’s leading distributors of OE-quality car and commercial vehicle parts to the independent aftermarket. With a reputation for reliability, quality, and innovation, the business supports customers across the UK and globally.

What you’ll be doing

  • Managing product availability across group subsidiaries, ensuring KPIs are met

  • Improving communication between subsidiaries and the central supply chain team

  • Monitoring forecasts, stock profiles, and ordering policies to meet sales targets

  • Analysing demand trends and providing insight for decision-making

  • Working with colleagues in logistics, procurement, and sales to optimise supply chain processes

  • Producing regular reports, forecasts, and KPI updates for managers and directors

  • Supporting subsidiaries with vendor relationships and stock management

What you’ll bring

  • 2+ years’ experience in demand planning or supply chain

  • Strong analytical skills and advanced Excel knowledge

  • Confidence communicating at all levels, from managers to international colleagues

  • Organised, proactive, and able to work independently

  • A positive, problem-solving mindset with a can-do attitude

What’s in it for you?

  • £30,500 – £33,500 salary depending on experience

  • Bonus scheme

  • Hybrid working – 3 days office / 2 days from home (after training)

  • 25 days holiday + 8 bank holidays

  • Excellent pension scheme with Aviva

  • Staff purchase discount

  • Private healthcare after 3 years’ service

  • Life assurance (4x salary) & income protection

  • Ongoing training, development, and progression opportunities

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a growth mindset who wants to take ownership, influence processes, and develop their career in demand planning.
