Dc Outbound Planner

**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.

Reporting to the Event & Stock Flow Planning Manager you will be responsible for the outbound flow of stock form our DC to our stores aiming to maximise utilisation and deliver outstanding store service and first-class availability and depth for our customers.

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.

**Key responsibilities**
- Responsible for outbound ordering, prioritisation, and capacity utilisation with the goal of ensuring that we have the right stock in trade counters at the right time.

- Balance operational efficiencies with business priorities championing the customers at every stage of the process.
- Spend time with Trade Counters to understand retail requirements and identify new opportunities to improve availability and overcome operational challenges.
- Develop relationships with 3PL colleagues to ensure prompt and effective resolution of operational issues. Escalate where appropriate to Line Manager
- Build, distribute and explain complex reporting that identifies, explains, and predicts future opportunities and challenges.
- Maintain a database of store information including formats, capacities, and key operational information to enable you and the wider SC team to effectively support stores

**Required skills & experience**
- Dealing with key stakeholders - whether customers, suppliers, or staff from other departments.
- Data analysis skills - able to understand and interpret financial, sales and other commercial information.
- Problem solver - able to anticipate and highlight issues, and take decisive corrective action, working within established procedures.
