  • Monitor and analyse ordering patterns, variances, market dynamics, contract sell-through/run-out and on-shelf availability risks.
  • Challenge incomplete or unreliable forecast information and obtain customer assumptions wherever possible, including expected weekly sales, store-type impact, pipe-fill assumptions and timing impacts.
  • Own the range-change governance process and ensure material changes are reviewed early enough to support Supply Chain, production, stock holding and warehouse planning.
  • Act as the primary escalation point for material customer service issues, ensuring timely resolution with internal and customer stakeholders.
  • Use systems, customer activity, service reporting and demand signals to provide actionable insight to Supply Chain, Demand Planning and Commercial teams.
  • Evaluate customer account data and collaborate with Customer to identify opportunities that support supply chain efficiency and maximise LDH sales opportunities.
