Head of Demand Management


We’re looking for a Head of Demand Management to join a leading manchester based textiles manufacturer, to help us work smarter, and keep us moving fast – because here, we work at pace


The Role: Where You Fit In

This is a business-critical role reporting directly to our Chief Operating Officer. Your mission is simple but essential: lead our Demand Management team to ensure our customers get exactly what they need, exactly when they need it – all while maximizing our stock strategy and full-price sell-through.

Your leadership and communication skills will be at the heart of this role, as you’ll collaborate across Production Planning, Purchasing, Logistics, Finance, and Sales. We don’t just “process” orders – we build in-depth knowledge of our customers, their unique requirements, and their bespoke product demands. That’s what sets us apart, and it’s also what keeps us at the top of our game.


What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Leading a team of 8 to elevate demand forecasting and deliver business improvements.
  • Ensuring we stay agile in a fast-moving, seasonal trading environment – think two-week lead times in some cases.
  • Driving a full review of our stock management system to find efficiencies and streamline processes.
  • Collaborating across the business to ensure we’re communicating clearly, acting decisively, and always keeping the customer at the center of what we do.
  • Balancing the needs of the customer with the needs of the business – because we know both are essential to our success


What You’ll Need to Succeed:

  • Commercialism & Pragmatism – You’ll be making decisions at pace and prioritizing what matters most for both the business and our customers.
  • Leadership & People Skills – You’ll build a high-performing team, know when to push, and know when to protect your people.
  • Flexibility & Hands-On Approach – We’re not about big egos. No job is too big or small. You’ll pitch in and roll up your sleeves when needed.
  • Pace & Prioritization – Thinking and doing go hand in hand here. You’ll need to act fast but always keep a clear focus on what’s important


Why Join Us?

  • The chance to work with market-leading brands
  • The opportunity to make a real difference in a growing, dynamic business.
  • A culture that’s rooted in care, collaboration, and doing the right thing.
  • A business where you can take ownership, lead change, and truly leave your mark


If you’re ready to bring your expertise in demand management, your ability to lead at pace, and your passion for making things better, we want to hear from you.
