Ready to turn data into real-world impact?
This international business operates at the heart of the circular economy - providing textile rental solutions that reduce waste and maximise product lifespan. With hundreds of millions invested annually in textiles, how we manage data, demand and utilisation directly impacts profitability, sustainability and customer satisfaction.
A great opportunity has now arisen for a data-driven, commercially curious graduate to join as Demand Planning Analyst and take ownership of linen performance at site level.
What You'll Be Doing
This isn't a back-office reporting role. You'll sit at the intersection of data, operations and customer service, using insight to drive decisions that affect production, budgets and service delivery.
You will:
· Analyse demand patterns and forecast seasonal trends
· Identify inefficiencies in textile utilisation and propose improvements
· Manage and monitor linen pool budgets
· Provide weekly and monthly performance insights to stakeholders
· Optimise customer service settings within our systems
· Work directly with Operations, Customer Services and Account Management teams
· Support continuous improvement initiatives across the site
You'll become the go-to expert for textile performance and customer configuration within your location.
Who We're Looking For
You might be a recent graduate in (or similar):
· Business
· Engineering
· Supply Chain
· Mathematics
· Data Analytics
· Operations Management
You'll stand out if you:
· Enjoy working with data and turning numbers into actions
· Are confident using Excel (ERP knowledge a bonus)
· Think commercially and ask "why?"
· Are highly organised and detail-oriented
· Communicate clearly and confidently with different teams
· Want responsibility early in your career
Experience in continuous improvement, Lean or operational environments is advantageous - but not essential.
Why Join the business?
· Real responsibility from day one
· Exposure to operational and commercial decision-making
· A business committed to sustainability and circular economy principles
· Clear progression opportunities, within a dynamic, successful and growing global business
· A collaborative, supportive working environment
If you're ambitious, analytical and ready to make measurable impact in a business where data drives performance - this could be your next step.
Apply now and start building a career where insight creates value.
