• Track and improve key demand planning KPIs, including forecast accuracy, bias, and inventory‑related metrics.

• Provide clear visibility on assumptions, risks, and opportunities and present these throughout the S&OP cycle.
• Translate Demand Review decisions into actionable plans for Supply Planning and commercial teams.
• Support allocation and scenario planning during constrained supply situations.
• Partner cross‑functionally across regions and functions to improve processes, tools, and overall forecast reliability.
Who You Are

• Skilled in collecting, analyzing, and presenting data to diverse audiences.
• Comfortable using planning systems (SAP APO DP, SNP, ECC are a plus).
• Certifications such as CPIM, CSCP, or Green Belt are desirable.
• Collaborative, detail‑oriented, and able to challenge assumptions constructively.
