Then here is your chance to take on a practical and collaborative role that will allow you to develop into a true specialist within your field.

We are looking for a new colleague to join the Never Out of Stock (NOOS) department in JACK & JONES.

YOUR TEAM
In NOOS, we make sure that the best JACK & JONES products are always available for our customers at our central warehouses and in their stores.

Our work environment is best described as vibrant, and result-oriented, and we believe in freedom with responsibility and are motivated by innovation and making a difference.

YOUR ROLE
As a Junior NOOS Planner, you will start by learning the forecasting system, analysis tools and the products, before you advance to taking on the responsibility for your own product portfolio.

You will specialize in such areas as: 

  • Forecasting, review and analysis of product demand compared to forecast. 
  • Placing purchase orders and balancing fabrics and capacity at suppliers.
  • Continued review of the inbound orders in our supply chain and balancing purchases in accordance with demand. 
  • Ensuring that reporting for Product Lifecycle is up to date, maintained and understandable for stakeholders.
  • Hosting weekly and bi-weekly meetings with our buying teams to ensure an optimal goods flow from the suppliers to our European warehouses.

This is a highly collaborative role, so expect to be at the centre of the business and working closely alongside our buying and sales departments. You will gradually be given greater responsibility, and the role can develop in a number of specialized areas to suit your skills and interests.

QUALIFICATIONS

  • Relevant education or experience, e.g. within sales, buying, marketing, international business or value chain management.
  • A curiosity within supply chain management, sales and buying - with a desire to grow into a specialist within planning.
  • Experience with Microsoft Office – with a desire to further develop your skills working in Excel.
  • Fluent in English, both written and spoken.

YOUR PROFILE
As a person, you have a structured approach to your work and are analytical by nature. You are not afraid of a challenge, whether it is handling large amounts of data, testing or solving complex forecasting models or having to present your plans to other stakeholders. 
You enjoy working in an open and fast-moving environment. You thrive in a role where you learn from and support your more experienced colleagues. You should be inquisitive by nature and motivated by the opportunity to soak up knowledge and develop your skills further.
