Are you looking for a Supply Chain placement in the UK?  Are you enthusiastic, numerate, IT proficient and a team player? If your answer is 'YES' we may have just the opportunity for you!

We have an exciting opportunity for a paid internship within our European Supply Chain team, where you will be able to gain valuable work experience across multiple departments in a global FMCG company.  You will be part of a growing team with a wide remit across end to end supply chain, from demand planning, management of inbound materials to outbound supply and customer fulfilment.

The Opportunity

We are seeking an intern to join our European Supply Chain team, based in Folkestone, Kent on a 12-month contract commencing in Summer 2027.  This is a great location on the Kent coast, with easy access to both London and the Channel Tunnel; we even have sea views from our logistics main office!

The role will combine a range of exciting projects, for example:

• Collaborating cross functionally with Sales & Marketing to gain market insights to shape and inform the demand plan.
• Helping to drive forecast accuracy improvements, by enhancing reporting and data analytics tools - with a key focus on E-Commerce.
• Helping to drive logistics efficiency using our SAP platform
• Stock control and inventory management from raw materials through to finished products held in the UK and in our European locations
• Implementation and measurement of Lean within both warehouse and desk based roles
• Digital automation of routine transactions in both warehouse and desk based roles, reducing touch points and improving customer experience
• Expanding our D2C provision
• Integration of newly acquired brands into our own logistics network in Europe.

In this role you will work with multiple functions across the organization and liaise with external stakeholders such at third party logistics providers and fulfilment houses.  You will have the opportunity to spend blocks of the internship year with different parts of Supply Chain, so gain a deeper knowledge of each specific area – UK logistics, European logistics, customer fulfilment and direct to consumer.  You will become proficient in SAP logistics transactions and have the opportunity to visit third party sites for inventory counts and project meetings.

Our ideal candidate will be articulate and commercially aware, have an enquiring mind and be able to work on their own initiative. You must also be numerate and have experience interpreting data and spreadsheets.  As you will be liaising with both internal and external stakeholders, we also expect that you will be a great ambassador for our team at all times.
