The posting

Job Title: RPM Planner

Location: Leeds Factory Function: Supply Chain

Reporting to: Site Planning Manager

JOB PURPOSE

Ensure the right raw and packaging materials are available at the right time, quantity and quality to support the Leeds production plan. The role balances service and output reliability with inventory, cost, waste and supplier risk, while providing clear visibility and rapid escalation when supply is constrained.

RESPONSIBILITIES

· Own material planning for an assigned portfolio, translating the production plan and forecast into supplier schedules, call-offs and delivery priorities.

· Maintain material availability against the agreed production plan, identify shortages early and lead recovery actions with suppliers, procurement, warehouses and site stakeholders.

· Review stock, open purchase orders, demand changes, lead times, minimum order quantities and safety stock to keep inventory within agreed targets.

· Provide daily and weekly risk visibility, including materials threatening the next 48-72 hours of production, with clear actions, owners and recovery dates.

· Manage supplier communication and performance, including urgent requirements, delivery changes, capacity constraints and escalation of repeated service failures.

· Control inventory risks arising from delists, innovations, formulation or artwork changes, slow-moving stock and excess materials; support depletion and obsolescence plans.

· Maintain accurate planning parameters and transactional discipline in SAP/S1P and relevant planning tools; resolve exceptions and master-data issues promptly.

· Support change management with Planning, Procurement, Quality, Operations and P&I so material transitions are coordinated without service, quality or waste impact.

· Contribute to continuous improvement, automation and planning capability, including standard work, reporting, root-cause analysis and improved supplier collaboration.

· Provide cross-cover for other RPM portfolios and support site priorities during service recovery or operational disruption.

Key interfaces

· Site Planning and Scheduling; Operations; Quality; Procurement; P&I/Projects; Finance and Waste/Obsolescence teams.

· Material suppliers, external warehouses, transport providers and central/category planning teams.

ALL ABOUT YOU

Skills and experience

· Planning experience in an FMCG, manufacturing or complex supply-chain environment; raw and packaging material planning is preferred.

· Strong working knowledge of SAP/S1P or comparable ERP/MRP systems, with advanced Excel capability; Power BI, Power Query or automation skills are advantageous.

· Confident analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to convert data into clear priorities and actions.

· Strong supplier and stakeholder management, including constructive challenge, negotiation and escalation under time pressure.

· High attention to detail, ownership and resilience, with the flexibility to manage changing production and supply priorities.

· Clear written and verbal communication, effective teamwork and willingness to provide portfolio cross-cover.

Role success profile

· Anticipates material risks rather than reacting after the production plan is affected.

· Makes balanced decisions across service, inventory, cost, waste and operational feasibility.

· Maintains trusted data, clear action tracking and disciplined follow-through.

· Builds effective relationships with suppliers and site teams while retaining accountability for outcomes.

· Actively improves planning processes and adopts digital tools that reduce manual work and errors.

Recruitment Fraud

Cyber criminals advertise fake job adverts with prestigious employers as a way of stealing information or even defrauding individuals out of money. In the most sophisticated cases, they will set up fake websites, which have a similar address to companies like Unilever. They even conduct fake telephone interviews and then offer candidates a role with the proviso they pay a fee for background checks or to cover work visa costs. These types of attacks are becoming more common as more people are looking for employment in the economic climate.

How is Unilever tackling this?

Many of Unilever’s recruitment sites publish a warning to candidates about recruitment fraud. The Cyber Security team also proactively scan for signs of people setting up fake Unilever sites and act to close them down.

What can I do?

If you become aware of potential recruitment fraud, spot fake Unilever recruitment adverts or fake LinkedIn profiles, report them via Una Live Chat.

Unilever does not accept responsibility or liability for any candidates who are financially impacted by recruitment fraud. Your vigilance is key!

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
