‍The Role

‍

As a Supply Chain Planning Consultant at Quicksilver, you’ll bring structure, stability, and momentum to our clients' planning functions. You will step into critical planning roles during periods of growth, transformation, or temporary shortage, and help build stronger planning capabilities along the way. You might be deployed as a demand planner, responsible for translating sales signals into accurate forecasts. Or you might act as a supply planner, helping balance inventory, production capacity, and lead times. In some cases, you’ll contribute to the roll-out of S&OP processes, coordinate data and reporting improvements, or coach junior planners on best practices. No matter the assignment, you’ll bring confidence, clarity, and control to planning, and help clients move from reactive firefighting to proactive control. This role offers the best of both worlds: hands-on planning exposure and the chance to advise clients on how to improve. You’ll work in a variety of sectors and systems, gaining experience that will accelerate your growth into a more senior consultant role.
