In this position you will own inventory across our low‑carbon technology product ranges, partner with Materials Planners to monitor forecasts and keep purchasing within target levels. You will actively reduce obsolete and excess stock, ensure procurement terms are properly reflected in ERP data, and lead the monthly UK S&OP Supply Review to align demand with capacity. You will also step in as deputy S&OP Lead when required and continuously monitor supply‑side risks such as supplier shortages or port delays, adjusting coverage to protect orders.
We are looking for an experienced Supply Planning Lead to join our Supply Chain function. The role is critical for managing inventory levels throughout our distribution network, working closely with commercial, operational and external supply partners to balance material control with high‑quality customer service. It offers the chance to shape the efficiency and optimisation of our growing supply chain.
The role is a senior individual‑contributor position with no direct reports, but you will lead key planning processes and influence cross‑functional decisions. We require proven supply‑planning experience, strong analytical and Excel/Google Sheets skills, and the ability to communicate procurement implications to operations and senior stakeholders. A proactive, pragmatic mindset, comfort presenting to executive forums, and willingness to travel across UK sites to build relationships are essential.
Octopus Energy Group fosters a unique culture where autonomy, rapid decision‑making and learning are encouraged, and we have been recognised as a top employer in the UK. We offer flexible salary discussions, a comprehensive perks hub, and a supportive recruitment process that can be tailored to your needs. As an equal‑opportunity employer we welcome candidates from all backgrounds and are committed to an inclusive, fair workplace.
