  • Assist Sales in quantifying customer service level goals which are used to calculate safety stock targets and optimize the use of working capital.
  • Coordinate Pre-Demand Management Review distribution and analysis of monthly forecasts and facilitate the review process with Sales and Marketing.
  • Ensure the effective update of Demand Planning metrics.
  • Assist in the development and management of product prioritization and allocation plans in conditions of constrained supply.
  • Assist with regular user training sessions for relevant S&OP processes.
  • Quickly analyze, create, and communicate possible scenarios for how to achieve business goals with stakeholders.

Typical Education

  • Preference given to master's degree and/or APICs certification.
  • Preference given to Oliver Wight training or knowledge of IBP best practices.

Other Information

  • Strength in basic Microsoft tools (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, etc.) with confidence in advanced tools like SQL, Power BI, Access, and Logility a plus.
  • Statistical modeling knowledge and experience (time-series modeling & cause and effect modeling).
  • Storytelling and relationship building.
  • Ability to manage time and meet tight, but consistent deadlines.
