About the Role:

The Demand Planner develops, maintains, and improves base and consensus demand forecasts in partnership with Sales, Category Management, Finance, Supply Planning, and Operations. This role translates forecast inputs, changes, risks, and opportunities into clear business insights that support decision-making and planning alignment. The Demand Planner serves as a forecasting methodology expert, promotes consistent planning practices and governance, and helps advance overall planning maturity across the organization. 

You’ll add value to this role by performing various functions including, but not limited to:

  • Develop and maintain demand forecasts using sales, shipment, depletion, consumption, and customer demand data.
  • Analyze forecast accuracy, bias, value-add, volatility, and stability; diagnose forecast variances and implement corrective actions.
  • Manage DFUs, forecast exceptions, and product lifecycle events, including new product introductions, phase-ins, phase-outs, and discontinuations.
  • Challenge forecast assumptions using data and analytics to ensure accurate, unbiased demand plans and prioritize high-impact opportunities through exception-based planning.
  • Lead and facilitate IBP demand consensus discussions and align Sales, Category Management, Finance, and Supply Chain to a single forecast.
  • Document forecast assumptions, decisions, risks, and opportunities, including volume and revenue impacts.
  • Provide analysis, recommendations, and insights to support business and planning decisions.
  • Evaluate the impact of planning assumptions on supply execution and escalate potential risks as needed.
  • Collaborate with Supply Planning to communicate forecast changes and downstream business impacts.
  • Incorporate promotions, events, product launches, discontinuations, market trends, and customer ordering patterns into forecast assumptions.
  • Utilize external market data and competitive intelligence to inform forecasts and assess market dynamics.
  • Translate commercial strategies into quantified demand impacts and support scenario planning for risks and opportunities.
  • Leverage planning, reporting, and business intelligence tools to generate forecasts, analyses, and actionable insights.
  • Identify, investigate, and escalate data quality issues that negatively impact forecast performance.
  • Build strong cross-functional relationships, align stakeholders on demand drivers and tradeoffs, and translate complex data into clear, actionable business insights.

  • The anticipated compensation for this position ranges from $76,200.00 - 114,200.00 USD annually. This is the lowest to highest salary we in good faith believe we would pay for this role at the time of this posting.
