• Translate forecasts into inventory requirements and purchasing recommendations while accounting for lead times, minimum order quantities, order constraints, and inventory targets.
• Partner with Supply Chain to improve product availability while reducing stockouts, excess inventory, and obsolete inventory and supporting efficient working-capital management.
• Own the demand planning component of the S&OP process, partnering with Finance, Sales, Merchandising, and Supply Chain to align commercial expectations, forecast assumptions, and operational requirements.
• Build and maintain forecasting models, dashboards, and reporting; ensure sales, inventory, and product data are accurate; and present key demand changes, risks, opportunities, and recommended actions to leadership.
• Continuously improve forecasting methodologies and planning processes through data analysis, testing, and performance review.

Software/Platforms/Tools:

• ERP, BI, demand planning, forecasting, or inventory planning systems

Qualifications:

• At least 4 years of experience in demand planning, forecasting, supply chain, inventory planning, or a related analytical function.
• Proven experience working within an omnichannel product business, preferably across eCommerce, consumer products, retail, and/or wholesale channels.
• Strong understanding of SKU-level demand forecasting and inventory planning, including seasonality, product lifecycle, promotions, lead times, and supply constraints.
• Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills with experience working with large datasets, forecasting models, reporting, and ERP, BI, or planning systems.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to translate data into practical inventory and purchasing decisions, identify trends, and challenge assumptions.
• Strong cross-functional and English communication skills, with experience working with Finance, Sales, Merchandising, Supply Chain, and leadership stakeholders.
• Highly analytical, commercially minded, detail-oriented, proactive, accountable, and comfortable balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution in a fast-moving environment.
