Our client is a highly successful business that is part of a Australasian giant with an impressive reputation.  With a significant parent company and good growth opportunities, the business is well positioned for the future.

This newly created role will allow you to take your planning career to the next level.  For those who are in other planning roles, you will know that Demand Planning is the most challenging of all planning functions and the opportunity to progress into a Demand Planning role is rare.  Often employers are looking only for those who already have Demand Planning experience - so how do you get that experience?!  Here is your opportunity!

Reporting to the National Supply Chain Manager who has an extensive background in planning with blue-chip organisations around the globe; he is prepared to train and develop the right person in best practice demand planning techniques.  As such, we are open to applications from individuals from a wide range of analytical and planning roles.

Many will apply for this role - what will make you stand out?  The 2 most important things are your analytical skills and your ability to engage with people.

You will need to be someone who does more than ‘crunch numbers’ - you will need to make them sing.  You can identify trends in the data and draw logical conclusions around future forecasts - but equally as important is your ability to communicate with internal and external stakeholders.  You have no difficulty building relationships with others and can communicate complex information in a simple way that makes it easy to understand.  You can influence others with your ability to sell your ideas and rationale - and have no difficulty pushing back and being firm when it is required.

You will need good experience working with one of the big ERP systems, ideally SAP.  Even more important, you have experience working in a fluid environment where the systems are being refined to streamline work processes.  As such, you are comfortable with change and ideally have the capability to assist with process improvement.

You are a strong team player who works well with others and your collaborative approach with suppliers is something you are known for.

If you are looking for that elusive opportunity to take the next step in your planning career - call me to discuss your suitability or send your written application today.
