Job Description

Overview:I am looking for a well-rounded Supply Chain Strategy Transformation Consultant, focusing on the likes of network design who has a strong digital and analytical capability to support a range of transformation programmes. This role sits at the intersection of strategy and logistics operations, and my client needs someone confident working across both disciplines – from boardroom-level strategy to tactical supply chain optimisation.

You'll be joining a collaborative delivery team supporting on digitally-led supply chain transformation across their TPM, inventory, and logistics functions.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead and contribute to supply chain network design and optimisation projects across manufacturing, warehouse, and transport flows.
  • Use specialist tools (e.g. Coupa SCGX, Llamasoft, Optilogic, Log-Hub, Paragon) to model and deliver network strategy and supply chain transformation.
  • Conduct inventory optimisation, routing strategy, and warehouse layout analysis.
  • Translate complex data-sets into actionable insights using SQL, Access, or similar tools (Excel not sufficient for data volumes).
  • Partner with internal teams and external contractors to turn models into deployed solutions.
  • Collaborate closely with stakeholders across supply chain and strategy functions, bridging the gap between technical modelling and strategic decision-making.

Key Experience & Skills Required:

  • 5-6+ years of experience in supply chain strategy and/or logistics consulting.
  • Proven expertise in network design/optimisation – particularly for large retail or FMCG supply chains.
  • Hands-on use of network design/optimisation software (Coupa SCGX, Llamasoft, Optilogic, Log-Hub, Paragon, etc.).
  • Strong digital and analytical skills – confident using SQL and/or MS Access to manipulate large data-sets.
  • Exposure to TPM and broader transformation programmes desirable.
  • Stakeholder management skills – able to operate across operational and strategic levels.
  • Well-networked, commercially aware, and confident working independently.

Useful Skills/Certifications:

  • Experience with tools like Python, Power BI, Tableau, Data Guru, or Google Big Query.
  • Prince2 and/or Six Sigma Green Belt certified.
  • Prior experience delivering in both consultancy and line management roles.
