A leading consumer goods company, making and marketing products in the foods, home and personal care sectors on a global basis.

This is an incredible opportunity to kick start your management career in supply chain. This role offers real responsibility from day one, constant challenges and personal development. It is a genuine management scheme. Nearly half of the senior management in this global organisation joined via the graduate scheme.

Supply chain in this organisation incorporates the planning, raw material sourcing, manufacturing and ultimately delivery of products to the customer. The FMCG products you are working with are household names - you will be working with some of the UK's best known brands.

So what will you actually do? Graduates undertake a series of varied rotations across all areas of the supply chain, both in the UK and within Europe. Here are some of the things that recent graduates have worked on:

- Managing and forecasting supply or demand for leading brands
- Led the supply chain for the introduction of two new products
- Leading a factory production team of up to 60 people
- Managing the implementation of a new hub in Europe
- Worked onsite at the HQ of a major supermarket managing a project to improve product availability

The scheme will be tailored to your strengths and development needs. If you like responsibility, challenges, consider yourself a leader and you would get a buzz from seeing the results of your work on the supermarket shelf, apply now!

Requirements:

- A graduate with a 2:1 in an Engineering, Business, Sciences, Supply Chain, Maths, Logistics or Economics degree
- A natural leader (this is very much a management scheme); you will need multiple examples of leadership on your CV
- Geographically mobile
- Interested in the FMCG sector
- Commercial with strong business acumen
- Customer focused
- Analytical
- Determined and tenacious
- Decisive
- A team player
