POSITION OVERVIEW - Business Analyst III - Demand Planning & Sales Operations Analyst

This role develops, maintains, and optimizes sales forecasting, sell-out demand planning, and channel inventory visibility, partnering closely with Supply Chain Management (SCM), IT Channel, and Demand Planning teams. The role integrates demand and pipeline data to support inventory planning, production alignment, and revenue decisions, while also managing sales systems, reporting, and cross-functional operational cadence.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop, maintain, and optimize the sales forecasting dashboard, sales hierarchy, and Salesforce.com data integrity to ensure accurate, timely, and actionable reporting across sales and supply chain teams.
• Partner with the SCM and IT Channel teams to own and manage Sell-Out forecasting by integrating historical trend analysis, pipeline data, and demand signals to produce forecasts that directly support inventory planning, production alignment, and revenue decisions.
• Integrate demand planning outputs (AP1/DP) with Business Opportunity (BO) pipeline data to provide the Supply Chain Management (SCM) team with enhanced downstream visibility, enabling more informed buffer loading decisions and reducing ending on-hand inventory risk and low supply exposure.
• Monitor and analyze channel inventory levels and demand signals in collaboration with the SCM and Demand Planning teams, identifying early indicators of supply risk or excess inventory and surfacing recommendations to minimize business impact.
• Conduct comprehensive funnel analysis to drive informed decision-making and identify areas for sales process improvement and revenue growth.
• Lead and support recurring sales and operational cadence calls, coordinating alignment across sales, supply chain, and executive stakeholders to catch and resolve misalignment before it creates downstream planning disruptions.
• Manage and maintain the Target Account List and support the administration of sales systems and tools.
• Support territory re-alignments and sales structural changes by updating systems, data, and reporting accordingly.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Sales, Finance, Strategy, Product Management, SCM, and Demand Planning) to support data compilation and operational execution.
