Are you a demand planner, looking to take your career to new heights?

I am currently partnering with a global leader within the aerospace/aviation market, who is looking for a dynamic individual to join their fast-growing team in a newly created role as a Demand Planner.

In this role, you will ensure accurate forecasting and inventory management to support global sales and operational goals.

In this role,
You will:

  • Manage monthly S&OP processes, including safety stock reviews, inter‑company forecasts, and forecast alignment with OEM schedules, bid models, and key contracts.
  • Analyse sales and forecast data, report on product availability, track contract part numbers, and deliver monthly forecast, KPI, and performance reports.
  • Lead monthly planning and forecasting meetings, monitor forecast accuracy, identify misalignments, and support decision‑making with actionable insights.
  • Collaborate with procurement, sales, and business development on new products, contracts, and margin issues, ensuring complete and accurate forecast and item data.
  • Support slow‑moving stock reduction, maintain product master data, and assist with training and cover duties for the wider sales team when required.
About you:
  • 3+ years’ experience in demand planning or a similar analytical planning function, with strong ability to process, interpret, and act on data - particularly around KPIs and performance metrics.
  • A collaborative team player who works effectively cross‑functionally and builds strong relationships with supply chain, operations, commercial, and senior stakeholders.
  • Confident communicator who is comfortable being challenged by senior leaders and can influence upwards as well as work hands‑on with operational teams.
  • Right attitude, curiosity, drive, and willingness to grow.
