Demand and supply planners in Cumbernauld

We look for people who have planned in your sector: retail, FMCG, manufacturing or e-commerce.

Supply chain employers across Scotland include grocery and retail DCs, food and drink supply chains, energy and port logistics and national 3PLs. Each plans differently, so we recruit to the planning cycle rather than the job title.

When the Cumbernauld market is thin for planning talent, we look further along the commute and consider hybrid patterns before we compromise on skill.

Employers supplied from sites such as the M8 corridor parks at Eurocentral and Bellshill, Grangemouth and the Clyde and Forth ports compete for the same experienced planners, which pushes salaries up.

Matched to your sector

Retail, FMCG, manufacturing and e-commerce plan differently. We match planners to the kind of demand they have handled.

Pay that lands

We benchmark salary, bonus and hybrid terms against the market before the role goes out.

Hybrid terms agreed early

Office days, travel to sites and remote working are agreed up front, so the candidate knows the job they are taking.

Your brief

Setting up the search

A planner who knows last year's forecast mistakes is far less likely to repeat them.

A realistic job description helps retention. We describe the systems and the data as they are, not as they will be.

A strong supply chain brief covers:

  • The sector and the products planned
  • The planning cycle and who attends S&OP
  • Salary, bonus and benefits
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it

Supply chain FAQs

Your questions

How do you assess planning candidates?

We ask about the forecasts and plans they owned, the systems they used and the results that followed, then check right to work.

Can you recruit hybrid planning roles?

Yes. Tell us the office and site days you need and we will only approach candidates who can work that pattern.

I am a supply chain planner. How do I find my next role?

Upload your CV and tell us your sector, systems and the kind of role you want next. We contact you when a permanent role fits.

Do you recruit heads of supply chain?

Yes. For senior roles we run a discreet search and approach people who are not on the market.

What makes a planner stay?

Clean data, real influence, sensible hybrid terms and pay in line with the market.
