Supply Planner

As one of our Supply Planners you'll support the Supply Chain Planning and Purchasing team with wide ranging activities to resolve supplier capacity constraints for cars in current production and those approaching launch and into volume production. Coordinating with a range of people internally and externally such as the Vehicle Planning & Scheduling teams, Manufacturing and Global Sales & Planning teams as well as external Suppliers, Buyers and STA engineers, in this role you will analyse multiple data sets in order to extract plans and forecasts from JLR systems.

Supporting the Supplier Capacity Planning activities for 0-24 months volume requirements on a carline or platform, you'll follow through on diverse actions identified to ensure the correct capacity is installed in the supply base and suppliers' confirmation is received back from the supply base so that JLR can support short- and medium-term demand changes. Key Accountabilities and Responsibilities:

Creating Modern Luxury requires a modern approach to work. At JLR, hybrid working is a voluntary, non-contractual arrangement providing employees more choice and flexibility around how, when and where they work. Some roles require more on-site work, but details of this can be discussed with the hiring manager during the interview stage.
