Dr. Martens is a globally recognisable and culturally influential British brand, with 65 years of rich heritage, rooted in craftmanship. As brand custodians, we are lucky to work for a dynamic, thriving, and ethical business, with people from diverse backgrounds, who bring their true selves to work, and where anyone can grow their career.


We are guided by three core values that are at the heart of everything we do: be yourself, act courageously, and show you care. They make us who we are and inspire us to push boundaries, embrace our individuality, and stand up for what's right.

This is a role for someone who thrives on detail, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration, and who wants to build deep supply chain expertise in a fast-paced global brand.

  • Ensure supply plans are prepared in alignment with regional safety stock and sizing curves requirements, coordinating with regional teams to validate timely data input
  • Maintain accuracy and integrity of planning parameters across regions, ensuring fairness and consistency in global planning
  • Ensure plans are ready for raw materials planning and PO release, collaborating closely with Raw Materials, Global Production Planning and Regional Operations teams to address planning constraints and drive alignment
  • Support preparation and consolidation of supply inputs for the monthly S&OP processes
