Hi there We’re Wild. We’re on a mission to remove single-use plastic from the bathroom, armed with our refillable, natural and scent-sational deodorants, body wash, and lip balm – and we’ve only just started. We launched in 2020 and as a high-growth company, we’re already one of Europe’s fastest-growing start-ups So, fancy coming along for the ride?
As our Senior Supply Planning Manager, you will be the engine room of Wild’s physical growth. You aren't just managing stock; you are bridging the gap between ambitious demand signals and complex manufacturing output. You will be responsible for transforming fragmented, manual processes into an AI-driven, automated supply chain that can scale globally.
This is a role for a "Builder." You likely learned the "gold standard" of supply chain within a Tier-1 global blue-chip, but you have the grit and agility to thrive in a fast-paced environment where you own the roadmap.
This role reports into our Head of Supply Chain. Please note, this is a mid-level role at the Senior Manager level (4-6 years of experience).
Please note, we are not currently partnering with external recruiters for this role. If you're interested in working at Wild, please apply below!
Proactively manage inventory and production cycles to ensure the supply chain enables, rather than restricts, rapid commercial expansion.
Design and execute supply strategies that allow the business to enter new global territories and launch new product categories with minimal lead times.
Actively drive business profitability through cost-saving initiatives and optimised planning flows without compromising quality or speed.
Lead the end-to-end supply planning process, converting high-level demand plans into actionable, high-efficiency production schedules.
Own senior relationships with manufacturers and suppliers to ensure production capacity meets our trajectory.
Oversee the replenishment strategy for all product lines to minimise out-of-stocks while strictly optimising working capital.
Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure supply readiness for major retail launches, promotions, and seasonal peaks.
Leverage AI-driven tools to enhance the accuracy of supply requirements, moving beyond traditional spreadsheets to automated replenishment models.
Identify and implement automation opportunities within the supply chain tech stack to eliminate manual data entry and human error.
Harness predictive modelling to ensure 100% 'always-on' availability, turning a high-performing supply chain into a competitive advantage.
Build and scale a resilient, high-impact team by fostering a tech-forward culture where data-driven decision-making is the standard.
Develop internal talent, providing the coaching necessary to foster well-rounded operational leaders.
Act as the final escalation point to clear business blockers related to supply constraints, manufacturing bottlenecks, or component shortages.
Maintain optimal stock coverage across multiple global 3PL locations.
Lead the supply chain execution process for new product developments (NPD) or packaging refreshes.
Coordinate closely with Inbound & Logistics to ensure seamless transitions from the production line to the warehouse.

You are a highly effective operator who thrives under pressure. You are comfortable with ambiguity and have the resilience to unblock issues with a solution-oriented attitude.
