An ever-evolving heritage. A truly exciting future. Two of the world’s most iconic brands. Jaguar Land Rover is revered across the globe. Continually pushing the boundaries of innovation and redefining the benchmark for excellence, we set the standards others want to follow. We want to keep it that way too. Which is where you join the journey.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Our commitment to sourcing only the highest quality products for our vehicles has taken us all over the world. Join us, and it will be you coordinating a supplier base of thousands, ensuring the right part arrives at our plants at precisely the right time. 
 
Every minute of every day, thousands of parts and materials from all over the world are shipped and delivered to our plants, ready to be utilised on our production lines within hours. At the same time, hundreds of customers from across the globe are handed the keys to their newly transported vehicles. A feat like this doesn’t just happen. Behind this momentous undertaking are our Material Planning & Logistics (MP&L) team, coordinating on a massive scale to ensure our vehicles continue to roll smoothly off the production lines and into the hands of the customers awaiting them.
 
As the MP&L Supply Chain Analyst you’ll work closely with the Lead Logistics Provider (DHL) to ensure 100% parts availability. You’ll be responsible for the plant and pipeline inventory management through liaison with key Jaguar Land Rover support departments (including Manufacturing), and the supply base at senior levels – ensuring parts are available to cover variable shift operating patterns. 
 
You’ll generate and maintain standards and procedures through interfacing with key areas, whilst ensuring system accuracy and supporting Parts Inventory (P.I.) process. You can also expect to control Premium Freight expenditure within Supply Chain, and drive innovative cost efficiencies. 
 
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
With proven logistical experience, you’ll have the ability to quickly understand and challenge logistical processes. You’ll be familiar with material flow and planning activities, ideally from within an automotive or supply base industry. In addition, you’ll get to apply your competency in MS Excel and knowledge of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Systems in practice.
 
By taking on high levels of responsibility and working under pressure, having flexibility and being able to embrace change is a must. Ideally, you’ll also be degree-qualified or studying towards a degree in a relevant discipline, though this isn’t essential.
BENEFITS
Bring all this to the home of premium innovation, and you will find the opportunities to further your career with a world-class team. Our employees have access to a privilege car purchase scheme, membership of a competitive pension plan, performance related bonus scheme and 26 days holiday entitlement. All this and more makes Jaguar Land Rover the perfect place to continue your journey.

Jaguar Land Rover is committed to equal opportunity for all.
