We’re reshaping our Food business to broaden its appeal, protecting the magic our customers love while modernising everything else. That means outstanding quality, high sourcing standards, and market‑leading innovation remain at our core, while we transform our supply chains, improve our stores, and deliver better value. We’re looking for motivated people ready to bring their whole self to work and thrive in a fast‑paced, ambitious team. After all, this isn’t just food… this is M&S Food.
As a Network Planner, you will help improve the end‑to‑end flow of goods throughout our network so stores receive what they need at the right time. You will play a key role in supporting the transformation of our supply chain and in the introduction of new National Distribution Centres (NDCs), using insight, collaboration and analytical thinking to identify opportunities, remove blockers and enable resilient, efficient product flow. Working closely with teams across Supply Chain, Logistics, Category and Finance, you will support proactive planning, smooth seasonal peaks, strengthen decision making and help ensure our network remains robust and future‑fit.
Due to high interest, this role may close earlier than advertised. We recommend applying as soon as possible.
What you’ll do
* Strengthen partnerships with Supply Chain, Logistics, Category and Finance teams to enable better decisions and smoother operational flow.
* Support the development and delivery of a proactive flow optimisation framework that identifies constraints across the network.
* Use data and insight to optimise volume flow through National Distribution Centres (NDCs) and Regional Distribution Centres (RDCs), smoothing peaks to keep service levels strong.
* Improve processes and management information so insight quality increases and manual effort reduces.
* Contribute to the successful transition into new National Distribution Centres (NDCs), supporting operational readiness and ongoing improvement.
Who you are
* A strong collaborator who builds trusted relationships across varied teams.
* Highly numerate with an analytical mindset and advanced Excel capability.
* Skilled at combining complex data and process inputs into clear, actionable insights.
* An engaging communicator who presents information clearly and simply.
* Motivated, curious and proactive in identifying opportunities to improve how we work.
