• Monitor forecast accuracy and bias by SKU and customer, diagnose root causes, and drive corrective action with cross-functional owners.
• Maintain and improve demand planning tools and models, including exception-based alerts that flag forecast risk early.
• Analyze POS, syndicated data (e.g., Circana/IRI, Nielsen, SPINS), and DTC e-commerce analytics to spot emerging trends and adjust the outlook proactively.
• Serve as the primary demand-side partner to Supply Planning, clearly communicating changes in outlook that affect production and purchasing decisions.
• Support new product forecasting, including analog-based approaches for items without sales history.
• Present forecast risks, opportunities, and demand insights to cross-functional leadership.

• Experience with syndicated data sources (Circana/IRI, Nielsen, SPINS) and/or DTC e-commerce analytics.
• A track record of leading cross-functional S&OP or consensus forecasting processes.
• Excellent communication skills; comfortable presenting forecasts and trade-offs to senior leadership.
