About the Role: We are seeking a detail-oriented and analytical Supply Chain Analyst to support our client, a well-established bakery known for its high-quality, artisanal products. In this role, you will play a crucial part in ensuring seamless operations by optimizing inventory, reducing waste, and enhancing supply chain efficiency—all critical to maintaining the freshness and consistency of baked goods.

If you have a strong analytical mindset and enjoy working in a collaborative, food-focused industry, we encourage you to apply.

• Data Analysis & Process Optimization: Gather, analyse, and interpret large datasets related to procurement, production schedules, and distribution to uncover inefficiencies in the supply chain. Develop data-driven recommendations to enhance operational performance, reduce costs, and improve workflow efficiencies, ensuring timely delivery of fresh bakery products. Utilize advanced analytics tools (e.g., Excel, Power BI, ERP systems) to model scenarios, forecast demand, and optimize inventory replenishment cycles. Collaborate with production and logistics teams to align data insights with real-world operational needs, ensuring minimal waste and maximum freshness.
• Inventory Management & Reporting: Conduct comprehensive inventory audits to monitor stock levels of raw materials, packaging supplies, and finished goods, ensuring alignment with production demands. Generate detailed reports on stock movements, shelf-life tracking (critical for perishable bakery items), and supplier lead times to prevent shortages or overstocking. Identify discrepancies in inventory records and implement corrective measures to maintain accuracy in a fast-moving, high-turnover environment. Work closely with procurement teams to optimize order quantities, reducing spoilage while maintaining sufficient stock for daily bakery operations.
• Process Improvement & Innovation: Evaluate current supply chain workflows, from ingredient sourcing to product distribution, and propose strategic revisions to enhance efficiency. Lead cross-functional initiatives to redesign processes, such as implementing Just-in-Time (JIT) inventory practices for high-demand bakery items. Recommend innovative solutions, such as automated tracking systems or vendor-managed inventory programs, to streamline operations and reduce manual errors. Support continuous improvement efforts by analysing KPIs (e.g., order fulfillment times, waste reduction) and benchmarking against industry best practices.
• Risk Assessment & Mitigation: Identify potential risks in the supply chain, such as supplier delays, ingredient shortages, or transportation disruptions, and develop proactive mitigation strategies. Create contingency plans for critical scenarios (e.g., seasonal demand spikes, supplier failures) to ensure uninterrupted production of bakery goods. Monitor external factors (e.g., market trends, weather impacts on agriculture) that could affect ingredient availability or costs, providing early warnings to stakeholders. Collaborate with quality assurance teams to address risks related to food safety and compliance, ensuring all supply chain practices meet regulatory standards.
• Implementation Support: Partner with operations, procurement, and logistics teams to execute approved process improvements, ensuring smooth adoption across departments. Provide training and documentation to staff on new systems or workflows, fostering alignment and minimizing disruption during transitions. Track the impact of implemented changes, measuring success through metrics like cost savings, reduced waste, or improved delivery times. Act as a liaison between teams to address challenges during rollout, ensuring solutions are scalable and sustainable for long-term growth.

• Bachelor's degree or relevant qualification in a related field.
• Proficiency in data analysis and visualization tools (e.g., Excel, Power BI, ERP systems) with experience in inventory and logistics management.
• Ability to translate complex data into actionable insights and strategic recommendations.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with internal teams.
• Knowledge of supply chain risk management and process improvement methodologies (e.g., Lean, Six Sigma) is a plus.

How To Apply: This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in shaping and optimizing supply chain operations for a growing organization.
