Here at innocent, we're on a mission to make it easier for everyone to get more fruit and veg into their bodies. We started back in 1999 and since then we've gone from selling a few smoothies at a music festival to becoming one of Europe's biggest drinks companies with around 1,000 people (and the B Corp seal of approval). It's nice to be able to say things like that but we're not patting ourselves on the back just yet. We want to show everyone that it's possible to be a successful business while looking after people and the planet too, so we're trying to get better in pretty much every way. And that's where this job comes in. Our Supply Chain Transformation team is on a mission to make sure our drinks travel from fruit tree to fridge shelf in the smoothest way possible. To do that, we need brilliant insights, smart thinking, and a clear view of how our whole network works. This role helps us understand what's really going on under the hood of our supply chain, so we can make better decisions and grow in all the right ways. You'll turn data into stories that guide our teams, shape our network strategy, and help us build a supply chain that's ready for the future.
