Build the AI operating system for the brands you see every day.
The Role
This role requires a seasoned demand planning professional responsible for bridging product, customer support, and go-to-market teams, influencing demand planning technology.
Summary Generated by Built In

Confido is the AI infrastructure powering modern CPG — the platform that 200+ brands like OLIPOP, Simple Mills, Dr. Squatch, and Tropicana use to run everything from deductions to production planning. Finance, accounting, sales, and operations, unified in one system for the first time.

We're growing 5x year over year and recently raised a $15M Series A led by Footwork and Y Combinator. We're a small, in-person team in New York City, which means the people who join now shape the product, the culture, and the company itself.

If you want your work on shelves everywhere — and outsized ownership while you build — we'd love to meet you.

The Role

Location: New York, NY (relocation assistance available)

Compensation: Base salary between $150,000 and $200,000 + Benefits + Equity (.15% - .25%)

We're seeking a seasoned demand planning professional from the CPG world to join us as a functional expert. In this unique role, you'll help bridge the gap between product, customer support, and go-to-market teams. You'll have outsized influence on how technology shapes the future of demand planning across the CPG landscape. You will report to the Head of Business Operations.

What You’ll Do
  • Partner with product and engineering team to inform roadmap priorities, validate designs, and ensure we're solving real CPG demand planning challenges

  • Synthesize customer feedback and market intelligence into actionable product insights

  • Serve as a trusted advisor to customers, helping them to optimize workflows, solve challenges, and maximize platform value

  • Collaborate with sales & marketing teams on key go-to-market activities including discovery calls, content generation and educational materials, running webinars, etc.

What We're Looking For
  • 5+ years of hands-on demand planning experience at CPG brands, including direct responsibility for forecast generation, demand-supply collaboration, and S&OP processes

  • Deep functional expertise in demand planning methodologies, forecasting techniques, and planning systems

  • Understanding of how demand planning connects to broader supply chain, finance, and commercial objectives

  • Comfortable working with data and analytics tools

  • Excited by ambiguity, fast paced environments, and cross-functional collaboration

  • Willingness to work at our NYC Headquarters 5 days a week

🌴 Perks + Benefits
  • Equity — own a piece of what you're building

  • Fully paid health coverage with Aetna (we cover 100% of premiums)

  • Top-tier dental and vision through Guardian

  • 12 weeks paid parental leave

  • Unlimited PTO, plus regular 4-day holiday weekends we actually take

  • 401(k) through Vestwell

  • Paid relocation — we'll get you here

  • Full desk setup on day one (laptop, monitor, keyboard) + a $200 stipend to make it yours

  • Catered Friday lunches, team dinners on us, and unlimited coffee + snacks featuring our own brands

What We Do

CPG is a multi-trillion-dollar industry, but the path from factory to store shelf still runs on spreadsheets, emailed PDFs, and legacy systems held together with duct tape. Brands lose real time and money every day reconciling data, fighting retailer disputes, and coordinating across finance, sales, and supply chain. We're replacing that manual work with AI agents on a single intelligent platform — from cash application and deductions to demand forecasting, supply planning, and trade promotion management. It's working. We're the infrastructure behind 200+ brands, from OLIPOP to Simple Mills to Dr. Squatch, managing $40B+ in customer revenue, with 5x ARR growth. Backed by Footwork and Y Combinator.

Why Work With Us

You'll never wait for a performance review to get a raise or bonus you've earned. Ownership works the same way: trusted from day one to own things end to end. Need something to do your job better? You won't have to ask twice.
