You’ll serve as the critical link between demand forecasts, consensus review planning, inventory strategies, and IBP execution. This role focuses on demand management to ensure development and refinement of customer demand is met in an accurate, timely, and scalable way using advanced assumptions‑based planning, statistical modeling, scenario analysis, and predictive analytics. Your leadership will identify risks, integrate historical sales trends, leverage market intelligence to detect demand drivers (seasonality, promotions), and consider product lifecycle stages (e.g., NPI, EOL, cannibalization) while driving cross‑functional alignment to ensure seamless product flow and a resilient supply network. Key Responsibilities

Act as lead facilitator of consensus‑building across sales and marketing teams, finance, product development, and supply chain through structured demand reviews at the account and regional level.

Utilize advanced analytical tools and forecasting techniques for what‑if scenario modeling and monitor KPIs to optimize demand plans and inventory positions. Partner with finance to integrate demand forecasts and inventory strategies with revenue projections, quarterly budgeting and long‑term financial planning. Address demand forecasting outputs that exceed tolerances and communicate adjustments to stakeholders to maintain transparent forecasting. Drive new product introductions by translating market insights into demand volumes, documenting assumptions, and managing phase‑outs or cannibalization effects to minimize obsolescence and excess stock. Implement and optimize IBP tools and processes, serving as the SME for demand planning and inventory management software and promoting best practices across the organization. Champion continuous improvement using methodologies like DMAIC, Lean Six Sigma, or the Oliver Wight framework to elevate demand planning and inventory management. Qualifications
