What You’ll Accomplish

Our Demand Planners play a critical and central role in our ability to deliver products to consumers by executing the demand planning process and providing inputs to the sales and operations planning (S&OP) process for a segment of the Wellness business.

This is a great role for a developing supply chain professional seeking to leverage and continue to develop their analytical and forecasting abilities while flexing their collaboration and relationship management abilities.

• Hold responsibility for the overall demand plan for specific channels, product groups, and SKUs
• Track and manage the forecast for key events, promotions, and item launches within specific channels and customers
• Collaborate with the broader operations team on key process improvements projects and ideas
• Support new product introduction planning process across multiple channels
• Routinely maintenance data inconsistencies, own historical data integrity, and collaboratively apply ‘period type’ logic to protect the integrity of baseline demand history
• Identify and report on root cause analysis for forecast variance to targets

• A minimum of one year of ‘retail facing’ demand management and supply chain planning experience within consumer products manufacturing environment
• Demonstrated analytical skills, adept at using advanced Excel functions and other analytical tools
• Able to lead (without direct-line authority) the broader organization to the achievement of common goals
