Supply Chain Coordinator

Do you enjoy keeping products flowing and operations running smoothly?
Like working at the centre of the supply chain where your decisions directly impact availability and performance?
Want to take ownership of supply planning and inventory for a premium, globally recognised FMCG portfolio?

We’re looking for a Supply Chain Coordinator to join a high growth, international drinks business operating across EMEA.

This is a hands on, operational role where you’ll take ownership of supply planning and inventory management, ensuring products are in the right place, at the right time, across multiple channels.

The Company:

This isn’t a slow moving corporate environment. It’s a fast-paced, commercially driven business behind a portfolio of globally recognised premium spirits brands, operating across international markets.

 With production rooted in heritage locations and distribution spanning on-trade, off-trade and grocery, the business manages a complex, end-to-end supply chain across EMEA.

 The culture is lean, collaborative and ownership driven. People here are trusted to take responsibility, challenge processes, and make things happen.

The Role:

Reporting into the Supply Chain Manager, you’ll be responsible for owning day-to-day supply planning and inventory coordination across the UK & Ireland market.

You’ll act as the key link between production sites, warehouses and commercial teams, ensuring supply aligns with demand while maintaining accurate stock levels.

This role is less about long-term strategic planning and more about execution, control, and problem solving in a live environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own short to mid-term supply planning, ensuring product availability across all channels
• Manage inventory levels, balancing service levels with stock holding
• Lead stock reconciliation, investigating and resolving discrepancies
• Coordinate with international production sites to track supply, lead times and inbound shipments
• Support and lead supplier reviews, driving accountability and performance
• Work closely with commercial teams to align supply with demand requirements
• Manage supply for promotional and value added packs
• Maintain accurate data and planning inputs within SAP and reporting tools
• Use Excel to analyse data, track performance, and support decision-making
• Identify risks proactively and take action to prevent service disruption

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience within supply chain, supply planning, inventory or logistics roles
• Background in FMCG or a fast paced product environment is advantageous
• Strong working knowledge of SAP (or similar ERP systems)
• Confident Excel user (pivot tables essential, macros beneficial)
• Highly organised and process-driven, with strong attention to detail
• Proactive mindset, able to spot issues early and take ownership
• Comfortable working autonomously in a lean team
• Strong communicator, able to work across multiple stakeholders
• Naturally curious, someone who asks questions and challenges the status quo
