What we’re looking for…

Your responsibilities will include...

• Supporting end-to-end master data records across core ERP systems to ensure seamless setup and tracking of new and transitioning DRS SKUs.

• Maintaining and enhancing project tracking toolkits, KPI dashboards, and progress reports to provide clear visibility for senior decision-makers.
• Serving as a central point of contact for routine supply planning queries across cross-functional teams, including procurement, production, and commercial.
• Evaluating inventory variances, reconciling stock balances, and placing precise order requirements based on analytical planning outputs.
• Collaborating with the project team to formulate and execute practical risk mitigation and contingency strategies.

What you’ll bring...

The successful candidate will have;

• Hands-on experience working with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, alongside strong working knowledge of supply chain planning workflows.
• Strong analytical capabilities with the ability to evaluate variances, reconcile complex inventory figures, and guide on order requirements

• Excellent cross-functional communication and relationship management skills to build trust across both upstream and downstream internal teams and suppliers.
• Organisational and time-management skills to balance competing priorities and deliver against strict project deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
• A proactive, problem-solving mindset with the resilience to navigate change and supply chain constraints independently.

And it would also be great if you can demonstrate:

• Direct experience utilising JD Edwards (JDE) and Oracle SP.
• Prior involvement in major packaging transitions, large-scale SKU rollouts, or Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) project delivery.
