• Track and own key KPIs including DIFOT, forecast accuracy, and inventory levels
• Support New Product Development (NPD) and Existing Product Development (EPD) planning
• Partner with Finance to provide accurate SKU volumes for revenue forecasting and business planning
• Drive ongoing process improvements across forecasting, inventory optimisation, and supply chain systems
• Flexibility to attend global meetings across North America and Europe outside standard AEST hours
  
  

About You

• You have a Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Data Analytics or a related field
• You bring 2-3 years’ experience in demand/supply planning, ideally within the retail or furniture sectors
• You have advanced Excel skills and working knowledge of SQL and Power BI
• You’re confident managing inventory across global distribution centres and balancing stock levels
• You’re highly analytical and detail-driven, with a proven ability to interpret and action large data sets
• You’ve led or contributed to demand planning reviews and capacity planning processes
• You have excellent stakeholder management skills and can influence decisions through data-driven insights
• You thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy working with teams across time zones
• You are an Australian citizen or permanent resident with full working rights
