Supply Chain Planner *Dublin or UK Based*
What do we need?
For 10 years, we’ve been selling delicious veg-forward frozen goodness to loyal consumers all over the globe, and that takes some serious supply chain skills.
You’ll be getting our products from plot to plate—forecasting demand, optimising inventory, smoothing out supply hiccups, and keeping everything flowing across our global network. You’ll report to our Supply Chain Planning Manager and play a vital role in fuelling our fast-paced growth.
It’s a hands-on, sleeves-rolled-up kind of role—full of juicy challenges and real impact. If you love bringing order to chaos, thinking three steps ahead, and playing a starring role in how we deliver food that’s better for people and planet, then we need you.
Who are we?
Strong Roots has achieved impressive success to date: we’re in pretty much all the major Ireland & UK retailers, where we’re much-loved by our loyal consumers, and have gained sizeable listings across the USA. Further afield, we’re in freezer aisles throughout France, Australia and numerous other countries, and have now entered the world of food service in Ireland and the UK!
As a very proud member of the B Corp community, we’re here to deliver on our “Good Made Easy” promise by selling delicious, frozen plant-based food that’s designed for busy lives, and we’re on track to becoming a globally renowned brand. In April 2024, we were acquired in full by McCain Foods, in order to massively accelerate and scale this ambition. We’ll continue to operate as an independent business unit but are now supported by one of the world’s biggest and most impressive food brands. Nice!
We’re a multi-award-winning FMCG company who intends to stay that way. We’re at global scale-up stage, so you’ll play a crucial part in helping us to gain ground on a global level and increasing our sales by 10x in the next 5 years.
The Gang comprises 60 people, from 11 nationalities, across 3 international locations (Dublin HQ, London, New York), with more than half of our employees identifying as female (including at management and senior leadership level). We value and welcome diversity in all its forms (whether visible or invisible), so we’re most definitely an equal opportunities employer. Let us know if we can do anything to facilitate your application, selection, or employment experience. That B Corp status we mentioned? That proves that we look after our people and always have an eye on how to help you thrive and feel like you truly belong here.
What will you be doing?
This full-time, permanent role can be based out of our Dublin or London office and requires attendance at the office 2 days per week.
Here’s a flavour of what you’ll be doing:
* Leading the demand planning process for the assigned geography, or product portfolio.
* Translating demand plan and inventory strategies into executable supply plans and communicating these plans to manufacturing sites.
* Raising purchase orders, stock transfers, and resolving invoice queries for all incoming material.
* Partnering with manufacturing sites to resolve/mitigate supply risks and opportunities, using effective scenario planning.
* Working within Inventory Policies to manage stock holding, avoiding waste and supply shortages.
* Putting our planning system to expert use for creating and managing the supply and distribution plans.
* Ensuring robust planning processes are in place to manage business rules and planning parameters, based on appropriate data driven decisions.
* Collaborating with our Innovation, Marketing, and Commercial teams to manage planning of all new product launches & changes to existing products.
* Lead the monthly supply review meeting with manufacturing sites and internally.
* Managing Supplier performance and resolving issues relating to poor-performing suppliers.
* Identifying and owning / managing continuous improvement initiatives cross functionally.
Basically, if there’s a supply chain puzzle to solve, you’ll be the one with the toolkit to fix it.
How will you stand out from the crowd?
That’s easy. It’s because you have:
* Minimum of 2 years supply chain planning experience, with experience in supply chain in FMCG an advantage.
* Strong MS Office and ERP system experience (these are essential!).
* Serious Excel skills: v-lookups and ‘if’ will be second nature to you.
* Proficiency with analytical tools such as Power BI, especially interpreting, analysing, and presenting data using these tools.
* A creative and innovative approach to problem solving.
* Natural curiosity, with high attention to detail.
* Exceptional communication, organisational, analytical and time management skills.
* Ability to work to tight deadlines, and changing priorities, in fast paced environment.
We take our culture VERY seriously, and you’ll contribute positively to it because it’s clear to everyone you’ve worked with that you’re an exemplar of our Winning Behaviours:
* We’re GOOD PEOPLE: Sound people being solid team-mates.
* Doing GOOD WORK: Winning performance driving lasting growth.
What are we offering?
We get it: you’ve been working hard to make yourself a valuable asset, so we’re ready to treat you as such. You’ll receive a competitive salary package (which includes both annual and long-term incentive plans), but you’ll also enjoy a range of benefits that includes 23 days’ annual leave, matched pension contribution, £€1,000 Wellness Wonga, £€1,000 contribution to private health insurance, 12 weeks full maternity pay, 2 weeks paid paternity leave, matched charity donations, and more (“Like what?”, you ask? How about a paid half-day every Friday in June, July, and August!?). On top of all that, you’ll be part of something big that’s going to get a lot bigger, FAST.
Ready to join the Gang?
Still reading? Feeling excited? Good! You might be the perfect fit. Let’s do this, together.
