Job Description
Distribution Planner
We're looking for a detail-oriented and proactive Distribution Planner to join our Supply Chain team. In this role, you'll play a key part in making sure our products get to customers on time and in full, while keeping costs under control. You'll work closely with our 3PL (third-party logistics) partners and internal teams to ensure our distribution network runs smoothly and efficiently.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys problem-solving, data analysis, and building strong relationships in a fast-moving environment.

What You'll Be Doing
Managing 3PL Partners

  • Act as the main day-to-day contact for our warehouse and transport providers.
  • Monitor service levels (like OTIF performance), investigate issues, and work with partners to implement permanent fixes.
  • Lead regular operational reviews with 3PLs, sharing performance dashboards and driving continuous improvement.
  • Oversee system accuracy — ensuring product data, stock, and electronic messages flow correctly between systems.

Supporting Throughput & Forecasting

  • Help build weekly warehouse activity forecasts and peak plans, ensuring our 3PLs have the capacity to meet demand.
  • Share forward order visibility and promotional plans with partners to support their resource planning.
  • Manage subcontracting and rework processes, making sure external partners deliver to forecast.

Budget & Cost Control

  • Track and analyse logistics costs, explaining variances and identifying savings.
  • Approve and validate ad-hoc or unexpected costs, ensuring financial accuracy.
  • Partner with Finance and Procurement on new rates and month-end reporting.

Reporting & Continuous Improvement

  • Own KPI reporting for service, costs, and throughput, driving improvements with data-led insights.
  • Monitor and reduce late deliveries, returns, and demurrage with proactive solutions.
  • Support wider logistics efficiency projects, including pallet and order optimisation.

General Support

  • Be a key member of the UK Distribution team — supporting colleagues, covering the shared inbox, and contributing to strategic projects.
  • Attend customer and sales meetings when needed.
  • Keep SOPs and training materials up to date.

What We're Looking For

  • Experience in supply chain or logistics, ideally in FMCG or the drinks industry.
  • Strong communication skills — confident working with both suppliers and internal teams.
  • Highly organised with great attention to detail, even under pressure.
  • Good Excel skills (intermediate level) and ERP system knowledge (SAP a bonus).
  • Analytical mindset with the ability to turn data into actionable insights.

Why join us?
This role gives you the chance to shape how we deliver to customers, work cross-functionally across supply chain and finance, and influence key partners. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same, you'll feel right at home here.

We Offer
We are committed to nurturing a workplace where we celebrate and respect difference, and support everyone to be true to who they are At Asahi Europe and International we believe you can SHINE AS YOU ARE - no matter your age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disabilities, religion, or beliefs.
