  • Incorporate new product introductions, product transitions, promotions, and product phase-outs into demand forecasts.
  • Analyze SKU performance and productivity to support inventory positioning, assortment planning, and product lifecycle management decisions.
  • Prepare demand-planning reports, dashboards, and presentations for leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Identify opportunities to improve forecasting methodologies, planning systems, reporting capabilities, and overall supply-chain efficiency.

  • Participate in special projects and continuous-improvement initiatives across Supply Chain and Operations.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Finance, Economics, Engineering, Statistics, Analytics, or a related field.
  • Approximately 3–5 years of experience in demand planning, forecasting, supply-chain planning, inventory planning, or a related analytical function.
