Full job description

About STYRKR

We are a sports nutrition company committed to developing high-performance products for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Our Operations team sits at the heart of the business, managing a dual-manufacturing model that combines in-house powder production with a portfolio of externally manufactured products. We pride ourselves on quality, efficiency, and the ability to scale with the demands of a fast-growing brand.

About the Role

We are seeking a detail-oriented and analytical Demand Supply Planner to manage and optimise inventory across our fast-paced FMCG environment within the endurance sports nutrition sector. This role is responsible for end-to-end inventory control covering supplier management, raw materials and finished goods stock control, and Sales-to-Operations (S&OP) inventory flow alignment.

The successful candidate will ensure high service levels, optimal stock holding, strong supplier performance, and efficient inventory movement from procurement through to fulfilment.

Key Responsibilities

1. Supplier & Procurement Inventory Management

Monitor and manage supplier performance including lead times, order accuracy, fill rates, and compliance with service level agreements (SLAs).
Maintain accurate raw material and packaging inventory levels to support production schedules.
Coordinate purchase orders based on demand forecasts and production plans.
Track inbound shipments and resolve supply disruptions or delays proactively.
Conduct supplier performance reviews and support cost optimisation initiatives.
Ensure proper documentation, batch traceability, and quality compliance for all incoming goods.

2. Raw Materials & Components Inventory Control

Maintain optimal stock levels of raw ingredients, packaging materials, and components.
Set and manage safety stock, reorder points, and minimum order quantities.
Perform regular stock reconciliations and cycle counts to ensure system accuracy.
Minimize waste, expiry risks, and obsolescence — particularly for perishable or regulated nutritional ingredients.
Support new product launches by coordinating inventory readiness with procurement and production teams.
Analyze usage trends and forecast consumption to prevent stock-outs or overstocking.

3. Finished Goods Inventory Management

Oversee finished goods inventory across warehouse(s) and distribution channels.
Ensure accurate inventory records across ERP/WMS systems.
Monitor sell-through rates and adjust replenishment strategies accordingly.
Manage batch control and expiry tracking in line with FMCG best practices.
Optimize inventory turnover and reduce slow-moving or obsolete stock.
Collaborate with logistics partners to maintain accurate dispatch and inventory records.

4. Sales-to-Operations Flow (S&OP Alignment)

Align inventory planning with sales forecasts and promotional activities.
Participate in S&OP meetings to ensure production plans match demand projections.
Identify risks related to demand spikes, seasonality (e.g., race seasons), and product launches.
Provide inventory reporting and insights to Sales, Marketing, and Finance teams.
Ensure smooth order fulfillment while maintaining optimal stock holding levels.
Support demand planning with accurate historical inventory and consumption data.

Reporting & Analysis

Produce weekly and monthly inventory performance reports (stock levels, stock turns, fill rate, ageing stock).
Analyse variances between forecast, production output, and actual sales.
Track KPIs including inventory accuracy, stock days on hand, and supplier OTIF (On Time In Full).
Identify continuous improvement opportunities in supply chain processes.

Key Skills & Competencies

Strong analytical and numerical skills.
Advanced Excel and ERP/WMS proficiency.
Experience in FMCG inventory control (sports nutrition, supplements, or food industry preferred).
Knowledge of batch tracking, expiry management, and regulated product handling.
Excellent supplier communication and negotiation skills.
Strong cross-functional collaboration abilities.
High attention to detail and strong problem-solving mindset.
Experience in demand planning and S&OP environments.
Understanding of GMP, food safety, or nutritional compliance standards is advantageous.

Qualifications & Experience

Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, Operations, or related field.
3–5+ years of experience in inventory control within FMCG or food/nutritional manufacturing.

What Success Looks Like

Zero production downtime due to material shortages.
High inventory accuracy (≥98%).
Improved stock turnover and reduced expired/obsolete stock.
Strong supplier performance and minimal stock-outs.
Seamless alignment between sales forecasts and operational execution.

This role is ideal for a supply chain professional who thrives in a dynamic FMCG environment and understands the complexities of managing inventory in performance-driven sports nutrition markets.

Pay: £35,000.00-£40,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Casual dress
Company events
Company pension
