Schedule: Monday–Friday

Position Summary

We are seeking a Demand Planner to take ownership of demand planning and forecasting across a growing U.S. business. This is a highly visible, strategic role that will work closely with major accounts. The Demand Planner will analyze historical point-of-sale trends, inventory levels, customer plans, and manufacturing lead times to develop accurate forecasts and determine what needs to be produced and shipped. This is an opportunity for a self-motivated professional who wants to do more than maintain a forecast. The ideal candidate will challenge assumptions, identify opportunities, drive change, eliminate waste, and make data-driven recommendations that directly impact inventory and business performance.

• Major Exposure: Work with some of the company’s largest accounts.
• Drive Change: Join an organization where ideas can move quickly and layers of bureaucracy are minimized.
• Automation Opportunity: Help transform a largely manual forecasting process by identifying opportunities to leverage technology and automation.

What will your day look like?

• Own demand planning and forecasting for several hundred SKUs across the U.S. business.
• Analyze historical POS sales and trends to identify demand patterns.
• Review current U.S. inventory and determine future production requirements based on customer demand.
• Work closely with Account Managers to understand customer strategies, growth expectations, and changing demand.
• Determine how customers can achieve growth objectives without creating excess inventory.
• Make monthly forecast adjustments in coordination with Account Managers.
• Identify opportunities to automate and improve currently manual forecasting processes.
• Continuously look for ways to eliminate waste, improve processes, and make demand planning more scalable.

Who are you?

• Experience in demand planning, forecasting, supply chain planning, or a related function.
• Strong analytical and data-driven decision-making skills.
• Advanced Excel skills.
• Comfortable working with large amounts of SKU-level and customer-level data.
• Able to analyze historical trends and translate data into actionable recommendations.
• Self-motivated with a strong sense of urgency and ownership.
• Comfortable working independently while remaining highly collaborative.
• Process-oriented with an interest in automation and continuous improvement.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where decisions and changes can happen quickly.
• Manufacturing and/or retail experience is preferred, but industry background is open.
