Supply Chain Analyst

Overview of role

📍Location: Leeds, West Yorkshire

Permanent | Full-time | Competitive Salary

Ready to take your supply chain and commercial career to the next level? Want to be at the heart of the action, working onsite in Leeds, side-by-side with one of the UK’s leading retailers at their head office? This is a unique opportunity to be embedded where insight turns into impact.

We’re recruiting a proactive, data-driven and commercially astute Supply Chain Analyst to join Allied Bakeries as an Implant (embedded onsite with our retail customer). You’ll act as a key link between both businesses, strengthening collaboration, driving performance and enabling best-in-class service.

This is a highly collaborative, customer-facing position focused on improving supply chain performance, providing data-led insight and resolving operational challenges. You’ll play a central role in maintaining high customer satisfaction through KPI improvements, proactive issue management and strong stakeholder relationships.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Building and maintaining strong working relationships across both Retailer and Allied Bakeries teams.
• Leading 30/60/90-day planning meetings to review performance, align future plans and drive continuous improvement.
• Interpreting complex datasets to monitor KPIs, identify trends and recommend corrective actions.
• Providing proactive solutions and coordinating with Commercial and Supply Chain teams to ensure effective communication and timely problem resolution.
• Taking ownership of service challenges, ensuring clear cross-business communication and aligned action plans.
• Managing key trading events (e.g., Christmas, Easter) and change periods (e.g., Range Reviews), ensuring robust planning, issue mitigation and post-event reviews.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• A clear communicator who builds strong, trusted relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
• Experience in Supply Chain or commercial roles, ideally within an FMCG or retail environment.
• Able to exercise sound judgement under pressure while maintaining accuracy and professionalism.
• Confident working with high volumes of data and highly proficient in Microsoft Excel and related analytical tools.
• Understanding of collaborative forecasting and CPFR is desirable.
