We are a business fuelled by optimism, unwavering customer focus and a team of amazing people.

And that’s where we come in…. “the amazing people” part

We don’t sit back and wait for the future to happen, we are out there crafting our own path through new technology, innovation, and investment. We are truly a challenger brand, with challenger spirit.

We’re on the lookout for a Demand Planner to join our Inventory & Logistics team and play a pivotal role in supporting the expansion and upgrade of our telecommunications network

The day-to-day

As a Demand Planner, you’ll be at the heart of making sure the right materials get where they need to be, on time and in full. Here’s what your day could look like:

- Managing demand for deployment materials to support our network expansion and upgrades.
- Championing continuous improvement across supply chain processes – looking for “one-touch” opportunities that make life easier for everyone
- S upport demand management tasks such as MRP execution, purchase order creation and purchase order submission
- Partnering with Engineering, Contract owners, and different teams to deliver accurate forecasts and smooth supply.
- Keeping master data sharp and ensuring SAP S/4HANA drives efficient demand and supply processes.
- Reviewing system outputs, spotting risks, and escalating issues before they impact the business.
- Working closely with vendors to maintain performance, solve problems, and drive improvements.
- Work closely with 3PL team to identify non-compliances, receiving inquiries, and proactively address open inquiries

What You'll Bring

You are a great collaborator who can build strong relationships internally and externally. You’re equally at home digging into data as you are leading a conversation with team members. On top of that, you’ll bring:

- Substantial supply chain planning and demand forecasting experience.
- Strong skills in ERP systems (ideally SAP ECC or S/4HANA) and advanced Excel know-how.
- Experience in vendor management and performance measurement.
- The ability to identify risks and opportunities and turn insights into action.
- A continuous improvement approach – always looking for ways to do things better.
- A degree or equivalent experience in business, supply chain, or APICS certification would be highly regarded.
