About the role:

Every meal and retail favourite served on our client’s train has a journey before it reaches the trolley, and this role keeps that journey on time. You’ll be the link between the client’s Customer Experience team, our suppliers, and gategroup’s Procurement, Compliance and Supply Chain teams, keeping specs, samples, packing plans and timelines on track for new products. Once they’re live, you’ll monitor performance, spot trends and feed the insight back. It suits someone who likes being in the middle of things and making them work.

What you’ll do:

• Supplier information: Get accurate supplier product specs and technical data to the client quickly and keep them updated on Price Change Notifications.

• System accuracy: Work with the client, procurement and supply chain to make sure pack sizes and yields are set up correctly before launch or after any change.
• Quality monitoring: Collate quality findings across the life of a product, identify trends or issues, and resolve them with compliance and procurement.
• Supply Chain performance: Help meet targets on product availability, On Time In Full and product waste, support demand, storage and delivery planning (including supplier forecasts), and coordinate stock introduction, ramp-up, de-listing and returns to supplier.
• Collaboration and Customer support: Work on a day-to-day basis with Service Centres, procurement and compliance, promote teamwork and knowledge sharing, and handle additional customer requests, including data insights.
