Are you looking for a fulfilling and rewarding career rather than just another job? Do you have experience working within planning? Are you keen to expand upon that experience with a forward-thinking company that really delivers progression and personal growth? Then you’re in the right place! This isn’t just another job opportunity… this is a M&S job opportunity!
This is an exciting new opportunity to join the GXO team as a Senior Planning & Inventory Manager. Dedicated to our M&S operation in Thorncliffe, Sheffield, you’ll be responsible for setting the strategy for labour planning and best-in-class utilisation on site, utilising the talent of the team and current planning tools, as well as exploring alternative tools and ways of working to add further value.
This is a full-time, permanent role. The working hours are Monday to Friday, 37.5 hours per week, with some flexibility on start times between 08:00 and 09:00.
Pay, benefits, and more:
You’ll be paid a salary of up to £55,000 per annum, depending on experience. You’ll also get 25 days of annual leave (plus bank holidays), with the option to buy additional days to enjoy a positive work-life balance. Benefits include private healthcare, a dental plan, a workplace pension, access to GXO University for skill development and qualifications, high street discounts, a cycle-to-work scheme, and a strong focus on internal promotions, with over 55% last year!
What you’ll do on a typical day:
- Ensure the efficient operation of both internal and external planning functions, setting strategies for labour planning and site utilisation, leveraging team talent and current planning tools, while exploring new tools and methods to add value.
- Focus on team strategy and direction to maintain accurate stock availability, optimize storage capacities, and provide management information (MI) to support strategic decisions.
- Lead your teams to foster a positive, collaborative culture, ensuring continuous improvement, safety, and quality standards, while supporting staff development and upskilling.
- Regularly liaise with customers and internal stakeholders to present options and proposals that drive efficiency, processing large data volumes to derive insights for decision making.
What you need to succeed at GXO:
- Experience in logistics planning, inventory management, and storage operations, preferably in a 24/7 environment, ideally in eCommerce or Retail.
- Strong leadership and team management skills, with the ability to inspire and develop staff.
- Confident communication skills to build and maintain effective relationships with customers and other sites, enabling synergies and collaboration.
