Senior Demand Planning & Automation Manager at Wearewild

Join one of Europe’s fastest-growing sustainable scale-ups as a Senior Demand Planning & Automation Manager. This isn't a traditional 'spreadsheet-only' role; you'll be tasked with building AI-powered forecasting tools and automating the S&OP cycle for a Unilever-acquired B Corp on a mission to eliminate single-use plastics. If you have a quant mindset, FMCG experience, and a passion for using cutting-edge tech to solve supply chain challenges, this London-based hybrid role offers the chance to define the planning engine for a global consumer brand.
