Job Responsibility:

Overview

It's a great time to join Screwfix. Thanks to the hard work of our team and record-breaking sales, we're proud to be one of the fastest-growing retailers in the UK. And we want to pass that growth onto you.

With record-breaking sales and an ambitious growth plan in place, there has never been a more exciting time to join one of the fastest-growing retailers in the UK.

As Category Supply Manager, you'll be responsible for managing your category across a multi-channel retail operation consisting of household brands and our own. You'll lead a small team of Supply Chain Planners responsible for inbound purchase planning and store replenishment levels ensuring we meet our KPIs and allowing you to focus more strategically on broader developments.

Working closely and as part of a wider matrix team, you'll use your commercial judgement and analytical skills to forecast and prepare category stock plans, including seasonal and future promotional events that drive 30% of sales. You'll be mindful of environmental factors that could influence supply & demand and be creative around problem-solving, keeping stock exit to a minimum.

Reporting directly to the Senior Supply Chain Manager, you'll have regular exposure to the senior leadership team, where you'll present your monthly category position.

We believe that a hybrid, flexible working approach offers you - and your colleagues - the best of both worlds. Face-to-face collaboration is an integral part of our warm, friendly culture, so you'll work from our head office three days a week, working flexibly around our core working hours of 10am-3pm. Beyond that, how, when and where you work is up to you. With a subsidised canteen, free parking and a comfortable, relaxed environment, we've worked hard to build an office you'll want to work in. We also know that, when it comes to school pick-ups and home deliveries, it's nice to have the flexibility to do both.
