Job description

About the team

A forecast becomes useful when people can make decisions from it. In Castrol’s supply chain planning team, you’ll bring Sales, Marketing and Finance together around a realistic demand picture for your markets, combining analysis with the conversations that turn market insight into an agreed plan.

Key tasks

  • Own the unconstrained demand plan for your markets and portfolios, giving Supply Planning a realistic view of customer needs over the next 6 to 12 months. Partner with the Demand Planning Advisor on data and forecast insights, while owning commercial alignment and demand decisions.
  • Build and maintain forecasts in Kinaxis Maestro using sales history, statistical models and market trends. Cleanse historical events and assess which Sales and Marketing insights should inform the outlook.
  • Lead pre-consensus and consensus discussions with Sales and Marketing. Challenge inputs constructively, agree changes before the formal review, and record decisions, assumptions and agreed actions with clear owners.
  • Track forecast accuracy, bias and forecast value added at different levels of detail. Explain trends, seasonality and deviations, and agree corrective actions with Sales.
  • Work with Sales, Finance and the S&OP Manager to assess risks and opportunities against business targets, agree cross-functional actions, support trade-off decisions and escalate material issues or unresolved assumptions.
  • Represent Demand Planning in S&OP demand reviews and business reviews, explaining forecast changes, gaps against targets and the decisions needed.
  • Maintain and improve dashboards covering forecast accuracy, bias and inventory, making the demand picture easier to understand and act on.
  • Work with demand planners in other regions and the Global Demand Planning Excellence Lead to share practices, improve processes and apply global planning frameworks.

Experience required

  • Five to eight years’ experience in demand planning or a related role in consumer goods, food and beverage or manufacturing.
  • Proven demand planning experience using an advanced digital planning tool. Kinaxis Maestro experience is desirable.
  • Strong analytical and statistical modelling skills, with the ability to explain forecasts, question assumptions and translate findings into business decisions.
  • Proficiency in supply chain software and ERP systems such as SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA or JDE.
  • Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to work effectively with Commercial and Sales teams across countries and manage competing priorities.
  • A bachelor’s degree in supply chain management, business, statistics or a related field. A master’s degree is preferred, not essential.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
