We’re looking for an operationally savvy, detail-driven leader to step into a 12-month contract as our Retail Supply & Consumables Manager within our Central Operations team. This is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of GNFR (goods not for resale) operations at MECCA, ensuring our stores have what they need, when they need it — all while driving efficiency, innovation, and exceptional service.
The Role You Could Play
In this pivotal role, you’ll own the end-to-end strategy and execution of all GNFR operations across MECCA’s retail network. You’ll lead the GNFR function to ensure seamless distribution, accurate forecasting, and full availability of retail packaging, supplies, and consumables — always at the lowest cost and highest service standard.
You’ll work cross-functionally across Supply Chain, Stores, Procurement, IT, Finance and key external partners to create future-state solutions that uplift accuracy, efficiency, and customer experience.
In this role, you will:
Lead the strategy, forecasting and end-to-end management of GNFR packaging, supplies and consumables for all MECCA stores
Ensure stores receive timely, accurate, and cost-effective distribution of all GNFR items while maintaining optimal stock health and compliance
Oversee BAU processes while building future-state reporting, automation, and continuous improvement initiatives
Manage stakeholder relationships (internal and external), including service levels, KPIs, and inventory-related communication
Provide insights and recommendations that enhance usage efficiency, cost outcomes, and customer experience
What You Will Bring
Years’ experience in forecasting, allocation, replenishment, procurement or supplier management, ideally in a retail environment
Tenured experience in supplier account ownership, maintaining strong oversight across costs, orders and process to ensure reliable and transparent performance
Strong analytical capability with advanced Excel and reporting skills and experience interpreting consumption trends and spend
Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills across both Support Centre teams and store networks
Proven ability to manage complex operational processes and deliver improvements across inventory, forecasting, or supply chain
A hands-on, solutions-focused approach with strong prioritisation, organisation and commercial awareness
