The Senior Demand Planner NW Hub will own the total market forecast across the Hub, driving high‑quality standard and promotional forecasts supported by strong local market intelligence.

You’ll lead the top‑down challenge process between Hub and markets, remove bias, and secure alignment through well‑run Hub and Market Commercial Reviews (EBP). Staying closely connected to EU processes, you’ll ensure consistent ways of working, clear communication and shared insights across all stakeholders. A key focus will be improving forecast accuracy while balancing service levels and working capital targets. You’ll partner with commercial teams and customers to strengthen execution, share best practice and elevate planning across all Hub markets. You’ll also champion continuous improvement in market intelligence tools and processes—across Blue Yonder, promotional planning and customer data analytics—to enable more collaborative, insight‑driven forecasting.
