About the Organization:

Our Collaborative Business Planning (CBP) function plays a critical role in aligning strategic objectives with operational execution across the organization. Through strong cross-functional collaboration with product management, sales, operations, and finance, the CBP process (also known as Integrated Business Planning) ensures that decisions are data-driven, forward-looking, and fully integrated.

Within the CBP function, the Demand Planning Excellence team develops and governs global demand planning processes, supports execution, and strengthens capabilities across markets and functions.

As a Global Demand Planning Analyst for finished products, you’ll work in a dynamic, cross-functional, and international environment. As part of the Demand Planning Excellence team, you'll play an important role supporting sales organizations in delivering accurate, data-driven demand plans.

You’ll join a small, experienced team on an exciting journey to enhance the global demand planning process, with an increasing focus on digitalization, advanced analytics, and AI as key enablers of Demand Planning Excellence.

• Coordinate product lifecycle changes, including new product introductions and phase-outs, to ensure accurate planning throughout the product lifecycle.

• Serve as a key expert for the Logility planning system and our demand planning processes, providing user support, training, and driving system and process enhancements.

• Collaborate closely with sales, product management, supply planning, and other stakeholders to strengthen demand planning capabilities.

• Support and drive continuous improvements in demand planning KPIs, reports, processes, and ways of working.

About you:

As a person, you are analytical, structured, and thorough, with strong communication and collaboration skills. You have a strong sense of ownership and a genuine service mindset. You take initiative and are committed to delivering high-quality results on time.

Your skills and background: 

• A university degree in Supply Chain Management, Engineering, Business Administration, Economics, or related field.

• Experience within demand planning, forecasting, S&OP/IBP, supply chain, or another planning-related discipline.

• Strong analytical capabilities and experience working with large datasets and translating data into actionable business insights.

• Advanced Excel skills and experience with Power BI or similar analytical tools.

• Experience with Logility or another advanced planning system is considered an advantage.

• Excellent communication skills and the ability to build strong relationships across functions and cultures.

• Experience or curiosity in using AI, GenAI, or digital tools to improve analysis, planning processes, and ways of working is considered an advantage.

• Fluency in English, both written and spoken.
