Hi there We’re Wild. We’re on a mission to remove single-use plastic from the bathroom with refillable, natural 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?
About Us
We’re on a mission to remove single-use plastic from the bathroom with refillable, natural deodorants, body wash, and lip balm. We launched in 2020 and are a high-growth company and one of Europe’s fastest-growing startups.
The Role
As our Senior Supply Planning Manager, you will be the engine room of Wild’s physical growth. You won’t just manage stock; you bridge the gap between ambition 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 “Builder” role. 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. Please note, this is a mid‑level role which reports into our Head of Supply Chain.
What you will do
Supply Chain as a Growth Accelerator
* 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.
Production & Supply Strategy
* 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.
AI & Automation Integration
* 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.
* Leverage predictive modelling to ensure 100% “always‑on” availability, turning a high‑performing supply chain into a competitive advantage.
Team Leadership & Development
* 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.
Inventory & Lifecycle Management
* 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.
What we need from you
* Five years of experience in supply planning and related functions, including 3+ years at a Tier‑1 FMCG multinational.
* A proven track record of transforming fragmented processes into scalable, automated workflows and entering environments where systems are work‑in‑progress.
* Experience implementing ERPs or integrated AI tools to replace legacy manual processes.
* A highly effective operator who thrives under pressure, is comfortable with ambiguity, and unblocks issues with a solution‑oriented attitude.
* Understanding of how inventory impacts the P&L and how availability accelerates business growth.
* Advanced proficiency in data visualisation and modelling; turning complex data into clear, actionable supply strategies; love building and optimising spreadsheets.
Why Wild?
* Impact: You will be a key player in a mission‑driven company that is removing millions of tonnes of single‑use plastic from the planet.
* Ownership: We hire the best and give them the autonomy to build. You will own the supply planning roadmap from day one.
* Growth: We’re scaling at pace. Your career trajectory here is limited only by your own ambition.

* Hybrid working, 3 days a week in our London office
* 4% Company Pension
* Mental well‑being support through Spill
* Private healthcare through Vitality
