Quorn Foods are delighted to be recruiting for a Supply Planning Manager to join our Supply Chain team based in Leeds.

What you'll be responsible for:

This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in shaping and delivering Quorn's supply planning strategy across our manufacturing and external supply network. Reporting to the Head of Supply Network, you'll be responsible for translating demand, commercial priorities and portfolio plans into a credible, cost-effective and executable supply plan, ensuring the right balance between customer service, inventory, cost, cash and operational capability.

You'll also lead and develop our Scheduling team, helping to build a high-performing planning function that drives operational excellence. Working closely with stakeholders across Supply Chain, Operations, Commercial and Finance, you'll lead the supply planning inputs into the S&OP process, ensuring constraints, risks, opportunities and trade-offs are clearly understood and acted upon.

You'll drive robust production and inventory planning, support new product launches and portfolio changes, and identify opportunities to improve planning processes, governance and business performance. You'll also play a key role in developing planning capability, improving data quality and embedding a culture of continuous improvement across the wider organisation.

What experience you'll need to have:

Demonstrable background in supply planning, production planning, inventory management or a related supply chain discipline, ideally within food, FMCG or complex manufacturing

Experience leading and developing planning professionals while building team capability and performance

Strong knowledge of S&OP/IBP processes, constraint management and scenario planning

Excellent end-to-end supply chain understanding with the ability to balance service, cost, cash and operational requirements

SAP or comparable ERP/MRP experience alongside advanced Excel skills

Excellent analytical, communication, influencing and stakeholder management capabilities

A passion for healthy, sustainable products which are better for our consumers and the planet - you don't have to be a vegetarian to work for Quorn!

The recruitment process:

Every applicant will receive a response, whether successful or not. We aim to reply to everyone as quickly as possible, though at busy times this may take a little longer. For transparency, if you are shortlisted, the recruitment process will look like this:

1st Stage - 30-45 minute Microsoft Teams introductory call with our Head of Supply Network & Resourcing Partner

2nd Stage - in-person interview and task with key stakeholders from our team

Matched pension scheme & life assurance Cover

Employee Assistance Programmes (we're a GroceryAid sponsor and run a range of annual initiatives to support colleague wellbeing)
