This position is responsible for creating and executing demand plans that support the company's sales goals and strategies. Creating collaborative relationships across the sales, marketing, and supply chain organizations is critical to the success of this position and the company.

The Demand Planning Specialist will work in the Demand Planning team, supporting the manager in establishing the best demand plan: monthly for the mid-long term (typically 18 months out) and weekly for the next 2-3 months (inside the time fence). The role requires strong business-data analysis skills, enabling the person to understand which factors influence demand.

**Key Responsibilities**

  • Generation of volume and value forecasting through executing the demand planning components of the Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process.
  • Incorporate sales/CBD inputs, marketing intelligence for new product launches and discontinuations, historical sales from available data sources or/and point of sales (POS) information, and business consensus on volumes.
  • Analyze and review sales, inventories, POS, consumption trends, and monitor sales achievements to proactively identify issues and propose changes to the forecast and/or improvements.
  • Liaise with marketing for new product launches and discontinuations, evaluate assumptions (pre and post launch) – new product forecast, shade ranking, cannibalization.
  • Liaise with sales to determine pipe forecast requirements for new product launches.
  • Coordinate and maintain demand planning databases and systems, understand and apply statistical models, depending on historical patterns and horizons using exception-based planning.
  • Understand past and future assumptions, risks, and opportunities, and clean the sales data and build base forecast while keeping track of sales and marketing activity logs.
  • Prepare and distribute the various demand planning reports that support the business operation.
  • Report, analyze, and deliver KPIs (Forecast Bias & Accuracy, Customer Service KPIs, Stock-on-hand days, Business Waste).
  • Highlight gaps in the demand plan and make sure that necessary actions are taken by related stakeholders.
  • Document, review, and evaluate qualitative and quantitative demand planning assumptions and provide feedback for improvement.
  • Participate and engage in continuous improvement efforts to drive forecast accuracy.
  • Manage demand changes during the time fence (frozen period) with business and supply planning to agree on a common plan.

**Requirements**

  • Bachelor's degree (MSc Engineering or similar).
  • 3-5 years of experience in supply chain, at least 2 years in demand planning.
  • SAP, Manugistics, or APO experience.
  • APICS is a plus.
  • Strong analytical capability and attention to detail.
  • Willingness to work difficult tasks through to completion.
  • Ability to collaborate with other departments to reach a common goal.
  • Strong understanding of supply chain principles.
  • Desire to learn and grow in the position and company.
  • English, French, and Spanish working proficiency required. Other European languages will be considered an asset.
  • Ability to work in conditions which include multiple and sometimes conflicting priorities in tight deadlines.
