About the Role

The Supply Chain Analyst is responsible for ensuring the availability of raw materials, maintaining inventory accuracy, and supporting the integrity of supply chain data and processes. The role provides analytical, purchasing, and inventory management support to enable reliable production planning, strong stock control, audit readiness, and continuous improvement across the Supply Chain function.

Working closely with Procurement, Manufacturing, Quality, and Planning teams, the role helps identify and resolve supply risks, maintain accurate ERP data, support inventory reconciliations, and provide reporting and analysis that supports informed business decision-making.

Key Responsibilities

- Run and verify the monthly rolling raw material forecast, and share it with key material suppliers.

- Track open raw material POs and supplier OTIF, follow up late deliveries with suppliers, and escalate to Procurement where needed.

- Produce the monthly inventory reconciliation and share with customers on time.

- Carry out random stock checks, separate from the warehouse cycle count programme, and report accuracy results and discrepancies for investigation.

- Coordinate the annual customer stocktake: plan, count sheets, reconciliation, customer report and sign-off. The warehouse team leads the physical count.

- Support Supply Chain audit readiness for customer, regulatory and internal audits through gap analysis of processes, SOPs and records against audit requirements, including mock audits and record checks.

- Be the Supply Chain team’s main stakeholder for controlled documents: initiate SOP updates through change control, and draft SOPs, job aids and work instructions with process owners.

- Develop and maintain Power BI reports and the purchasing and inventory tools.

About You

- Proven ability to manage inventory reconciliations, stocktakes, demand planning, and supplier forecasting.

- Strong understanding of ERP systems, MRP, purchasing processes, and inventory master data.

- Advanced Excel skills and experience with ERP/WMS systems. Power BI, SQL are advantageous.

- Familiarity with AI tools and technologies, with the ability to leverage them to improve operational efficiency, data analysis, reporting, and decision-making.

- Strong report writing, root cause analysis, and continuous improvement skills.

- Highly analytical, organised, and detail-oriented, with a strong focus on accuracy, compliance, and data integrity.
