Hatfield, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom Ocado Logistics Full time

Network Planning Lead | Hybrid | Hatfield – two days a week in Hatfield Head Office

Here at Ocado Logistics, it's our mission to provide an outstanding customer experience for our partners, developing ground-breaking technology, opening multiple sites at an accelerating rate, and engaging in exciting new business partnerships around the world – changing the way the world shops, for good.

We are the beating heart of our UK business and comprise a network of cutting-edge warehouses and offices across the country that ensure that we optimise the experience and use our proprietary technology across the supply chain to deliver an exceptional shopping experience. At the same time, delivering bags of possibilities for our employees and a career that will ensure no two days are ever the same.

About the role

We wouldn't be able to positively impact the way the world shops without our passionate team members – who keep our business running, our vans delivering, our customers' products picked and packed, and our proprietary technology operating at optimum levels. Both behind the scenes within the warehouses and across the front end of the customer experience, which means we now have an opportunity for a Network Planning Lead to join the team.

As a Network Planning Lead, you will play a critical role in supporting the development of Ocado Logistics' long-term network plans, including the evaluation of new sites and determining the physical throughput capacity of our spokes and Customer Fulfilment Centres (CFCs). This role will ensure the alignment of demand and capacity across the entire network, proactively identifying gaps and shaping the future structure of Ocado Logistics.

As a Network Planning Lead, you will:

  • Build and maintain detailed network capacity models for CFCs and spokes, including physical throughput and catchment areas.
  • Analyse demand forecasts and compare them to network capacity, identifying gaps and developing data-driven solutions.
  • Develop long-term strategic network plans and business cases for new spokes and CFCs.
  • Liaise with retailers to ensure alignment of long-term network strategies.
  • Develop and maintain cost-to-serve models to assess network efficiency.
  • Provide regular updates and strategic insights to retailers and the Senior Leadership Team (SLT).
  • Collaborate with key stakeholders, including Planning & Analytics, Retailers, Programme Teams, and Finance, to deliver future network strategies.

About you - Requirements to be considered

  • Years of experience in logistics or network planning roles.
  • Proven experience in process modelling.
  • Proficiency in Google Sheets, SQL, and Python.
  • Strong stakeholder management and collaboration skills.
  • Experience in financial modelling and cost analysis.
  • Excellent communication and negotiation skills.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities with keen attention to detail.

Interview Process

  • Intro (30 mins) – Phone/Google Meet with Lead Recruiter, Richard Wandowski.
  • Interviews – The process will consist of two stages, focusing on scenario-based, behavioral, and experience-related questions, along with an in-depth discussion about the role.

At Ocado, we believe in a workplace where everyone feels valued and supported, so you'll find a safe and collaborative atmosphere as well as an award-winning recognition programme and benefits package that includes a healthy work-life balance, extensive healthcare coverage, competitive salaries, and exclusive employee discounts.

Including

  • Flexible Work: Enjoy 30 days of 'work from anywhere' policy for a balanced life.
  • Wellbeing Support: Access dedicated apps and an Employee Assistance Programme for holistic well-being.
  • Generous Leave: Begin with 25 days, growing to 27 after 5 years, with an option to buy more.
  • Pension Plan: Secure your future with our pension scheme, featuring up to 7% employer contribution matching.
