• Identify and mitigate supply risks, proactively managing inventory levels to minimise shortages, excess stock, and obsolescence across the network.
• Partner closely with Manufacturing, Demand Planning, Commercial, Quality, Customer Service, and external suppliers to align priorities and resolve supply challenges.
• Drive continuous improvement across planning processes, systems, reporting, and master data to enhance planning accuracy and operational performance.
• Monitor supply chain KPIs, analyse trends and root causes, and deliver improvement initiatives that strengthen service levels, inventory performance, and overall efficiency.

About you:
