Stock & Sales Planner

We're recruiting for a small, fun and growing team within an international business that distributes well‑known products/brands mainly across the UK and Europe.

We are specifically looking for a Stock & Sales Planner to join their team on a temp-to-perm basis in their Milton Keynes office.

This opportunity is live because the team has experienced significant growth in revenue over the past 3–4 years and the introduction of new brands into the portfolio. The successful candidate will plan and develop these new brands, giving an immediate impact and the chance to make a lasting mark on the business.

As the hub of the office, the team works across finance, e‑commerce, marketing and international orders.

Day‑to‑day responsibilities include ranging, forecasting, stock management, pricing, stock/sales analysis and more.

The role is ideal for someone with experience in merchandising, buying or analytical work.

We expect the new planner to learn the specifics of each brand and work closely with growing brands, providing a comprehensive view of the business.

Strong Excel skills are essential (VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, etc.) to manage sheets, databases, and reports.

Benefits include hybrid working, a free coffee machine, healthy snacks, themed lunch events, fitness incentives, and free seasonal stock for staff multiple times a year.

The office is in central Milton Keynes with subsidised parking. Employees will work on‑site two days a week and remotely three days a week, Monday to Friday, 9 am–5 pm.

The role is temporary at first, becoming permanent after five months. The permanent salary will be £26k‑£30k; the temporary rate is the hourly equivalent, paid weekly.

• Reporting:
  Create, maintain, review and publish regular/ad‑hoc reports to the wider business.
• Forecasting:
  Assist in creating and maintaining seasonal sales forecasts, and own forecasts for three brands.
• Stock Management:
  Review our stock levels, highlight gaps and suggest stock transfers to keep the right stock in the right place at the right time.

• Price Lists:
  Create, maintain and publish price lists to ensure customers have the latest product and pricing information.
