As a Material Planner, you'll play a crucial role in our Supply Chain team, ensuring the seamless availability of components for your assigned category. You'll work closely with Planning, Operations, Procurement, Suppliers, and Brand Change teams to optimise our end-to-end inventory, including safety stocks, and deliver exceptional service.
What you'll do:
- Ensure material availability in line with forecasts by optimising end-to-end inventory, including safety stocks.
- Provide clear visibility of material requirements to Suppliers and Procurement across operational and tactical planning horizons.

- Seamless innovation transitions with no out-of-stock
- Cost savings and control (SLOBS, Scrap, airfreight)

Ultimately, your efforts will directly contribute to maximising Diageo's volume, profit, and customer service across all our markets and supply centers.
The three core KPIs for this role are Volume (NSV), Customer Fill Rate (CFR), and Inventory. If you're a proactive and collaborative individual with a strong focus on detail and a drive for excellence, we encourage you to apply and help us achieve our ambitious service goals!
