- Statistical forecasting methods, including trend, seasonality, error measurement, bias identification
- Formal S&OP / IBP processes
- Supply Chain Management, specifically within supply planning, demand planning, procurement, or inventory management
- Promotional forecasting and SKU-level planning
- Netstock, NetSuite, or similar planning/ERP systems
- Power BI, Power Query, or other data analytics tools
Who You Are
A significant part of the job is maintaining, validating, reconciling, and updating forecasts and planning inputs across a complex two-brand operating environment. You are comfortable spending time in SKU-level data, checking that promotions are loaded correctly, validating forecast outputs, and making sure every agreed-upon change makes it into the planning system. You will also be expected to understand why the forecast was wrong, not just that it was wrong, and to look for ways to improve the process over time. The people who thrive in this role:
- Take pride in their work and own their responsibilities end to end.
- Are passionate about supply chain management and demand planning.
- Follow processes consistently and autonomously while meeting monthly deadlines.
- Do not mind repetitive work when accuracy matters, and are also motivated to question why recurring manual processes exist and improve them where appropriate.
- Are highly organized and do not let tasks fall through the cracks.
- Ask questions when something does not make sense.
- Enjoy working with data and digging into the details.
- Connect the dots between business conversations and quantitative forecast adjustments.
What Success Looks Like
Success in this role means the demand planning team can trust the forecast and the data behind it. At the close of each monthly planning cycle:
- All promotions are accurately reflected in Netstock.
- Statistical forecasts have been reviewed and validated across both brands.
- S&OP inputs have been captured and incorporated into the planning system on time.
- The demand-review decision log is complete, with assumptions, risks, approved changes, and owners documented and traceable.
- Demand signals are clean, reliable, and ready for review.
- Reporting is finalized and ready-to-use.
- The consensus forecast accurately reflects the latest business assumptions.
- Forecast discrepancies and data issues have been identified and resolved before they flow downstream.
- Ad hoc demand requests have been answered accurately and efficiently.
- By month 3, you are delivering S&OP inputs independently and on time.
- By month 6, forecast accuracy and bias are being tracked and reported monthly with structured root-cause commentary.
- By month 12, you independently own the core forecast execution and diagnostic layer, allowing senior planning leadership to spend more time on planning strategy and process development.
Growth Path
This role is the analytical foundation of our demand planning function. The intended progression is deliberate: execution mastery first, analytical ownership second, planning development third. As you develop fluency across both brands and both demand models, the development path is toward owning a brand's full demand planning cycle independently, from statistical baseline through consensus forecast. The team is growing and the scope of this role grows with it.
