Develop and maintain accurate demand forecasts using statistical analysis, commercial insights and cross-functional inputs
Lead demand planning processes and Executive Demand Review meetings to align stakeholders on a consensus demand plan
Partner with Sales, Marketing, Finance and Supply Chain teams to support strategic business decision-making
Provide forecasting insights, scenario analysis and risk assessments to senior leaders
Represent Demand Planning within the Integrated Business Planning (IBP) process
Support new product launches, portfolio transitions and lifecycle planning activities

What We Offer
A strategic role with visibility across Sales, Marketing, Finance and Supply Chain leadership teams
The opportunity to influence business decisions across a complex healthcare supply chain
