Role Overview
As a CPFR Manager you will connect Diageo's internal planning, commercial and supply functions with key external customers in both national chains and independent channels. You will help translate commercial strategy, promotions and innovation pipelines into executable supply plans, ensuring forecasts translate into high‐service‐level replenishment plans.
Responsibilities
* Own and evolve customer collaboration frameworks, delivering structured CPFR cadences that align forecasts, replenishment plans and execution across short‐, medium‐ and long‐term horizons.
* Partner closely with customers and Diageo teams to translate commercial strategy, promotions and innovation pipelines into executable supply plans.
* Lead insight‐driven decision making, identifying trends, risks and opportunities through sell‐out, SOH and forecast accuracy analysis and escalating deviations from plan.
* Drive supply chain efficiency through inventory optimisation, replenishment frequency, MOQ and SOH target improvements while managing special pack and aged inventory.
* Contribute to Diageo's IBP and innovation agenda, providing critical inputs into forecasting, supply planning, KTP scenarios and route‐to‐market frameworks.
* Lead continuous improvement, implementing process enhancements across customer and internal planning touchpoints.
* Build capability and change momentum by coaching internal cross‐functional teams and external partners on CPFR principles, tools and standard processes to embed collaboration at scale.
Qualifications
* A bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Supply Chain, Logistics, Business or a related field (APICS/ASCI accreditation highly regarded).
* 3+ years of experience in supply chain planning, demand forecasting, inventory management or CPFR‐focused roles within FMCG or complex customer environments.
* Demonstrated expertise in collaborative forecasting and replenishment processes, with confidence to lead customer‐facing planning forums.
* Strong analytical capability and a passion for turning data into actionable insights that improve service, inventory and cost outcomes.
* Experience with SAP/APO and advanced capability in Excel and PowerPoint to support analysis and storytelling.
* Exceptional communication, influencing and stakeholder‐management skills, enabling alignment of diverse teams and delivery of shared outcomes.
* A consumer‐ and customer‐first approach, with energy to build trusted relationships and inspire collaboration across organisational boundaries.
* High attention to detail, commitment to data integrity and resilience to navigate ambiguity in a fast‐moving environment.
