Interim Supply Chain Planning Expert | Transformational S&OP Leadership

Location: Gillingham / London | Hybrid

6-Month Contract (Outside IR35)

ASAP Start

Are you a seasoned supply chain professional with deep Sales & Operations Planning experience, capable of driving meaningful change across both planning and commercial teams? We’re seeking an interim S&OP leader to accelerate process transformation, build team capability, and embed robust end-to-end planning at a rapidly evolving, values-driven enterprise in the health and wellbeing sector.

Why this role matters:

The business is on a significant transformation journey, with S&OP processes in their infancy. Current commercial forecasting capabilities are fragmented, causing friction between sales and operations. The interim expert will play a pivotal role in shaping processes, mentoring teams, and ensuring the end-to-end flow from commercial forecasting through demand planning to production - is integrated and high performing.

What you’ll do:

Lead the acceleration of S&OP process change and embed best-in-class planning practices.
Assess and develop the capability of commercial and supply chain teams.
Map the end-to-end planning process, creating clear ownership across functions.
Partner with the Operations Director and senior supply chain leadership to enhance product availability and operational performance.
Deliver a 30-60-90 day impact plan: Discovery and assessment (30 days), Implementation of improvements (60 days), and tangible results and “green shoots” of change (90 days).

About you:

Experience: Strong supply chain planning expertise, with demonstrable S&OP leadership - ideally from a medium to large enterprise. Proven experience in building or maturing S&OP processes from scratch.
Commercial Savvy: Skilled at working collaboratively with commercial teams to improve forecasting and alignment.
Leadership Style: Empathetic yet driven
Cultural Fit: Enthusiastic, hands-on, and committed to leaving a lasting, positive impact. Comfortable operating in a dynamic, change-oriented environment.

Logistics & Contract Details:

Contract: 6 months, outside IR35.
Location: London and Dorset office requirements
Start Date: ASAP

This is a rare opportunity to shape and embed S&OP processes at a business undergoing rapid transformation, partnering closely with senior leadership while leaving a lasting operational legacy.

If you’re ready to bring your expertise, influence, and leadership to a dynamic, purpose-driven business, we’d love to hear from you.
