Lucky Saint – Supply Planner
Reporting to: Don Wheeler, Supply Planning Manager
The Opportunity:
We are looking for a Supply Planner to join the team at Lucky Saint as we continue our mission to become the defining alcohol-free beer. In this role you will be managing all aspects of supply within our network and with a number of partners including breweries, hauliers, packaging suppliers, warehouses and copackers.
We are a team who passionately care about the brand and maintaining exceptionally high standards at all touch points of the business. We’re interested in people who want to spearhead a revolution in the industry with us, who are curious, entrepreneurial, commercial and restless to make magic happen.
Our founder, Luke Boase, launched Lucky Saint in late 2018 with an ambition to change the perception of alcohol-free beer and the drinking experience, worldwide. Since the launch of our 0.5% Superior Unfiltered Lager, Lucky Saint has received widespread attention from top industry professionals, the UK’s best operators, and the media.
A day in the life in this role could start with one of the regular meetings we have with our suppliers – we’ve a range of suppliers (from the most fantastic and truly strategic, down to some smaller transactional suppliers) – having regular review meetings with them is a great opportunity to align on supply forecasts and capacity plans to ensure we’ve the right stocks across raw materials and finished goods. This could be IRL or on Teams.
An important part of our weekly process is putting together our replenishment plans. This could involve deciding on next week’s copacking requirements, or more long-term brewery production planning.
Part of everyday is checking our KPI’s – including stock levels across our sites, life of stock etc. We run a tight ship of weekly and monthly cycle planning, but there is always something exciting going on – maybe a promotion is exceeding plan, or we want to do more stock sampling to support the marketing team! Evaluating options and costs is where you can thrive.
A faster moving part of the role is innovation planning - you’d be meeting frequently with the internal teams to be at the forefront of packaging changes and product innovation.
Your last meeting may be with our finance team who you’ll work closely with to ensure our financial transactions and costs are processed effectively. This may be as straight forward as resolving any issues and queries that have arose, but also conversations around about how we can improve process and become more efficient will be high on the agenda.
