Competenze

• Experience with PowerBI, Oracle Demand Planning & Netsuite.

Mansioni

• Develop and maintain an accurate rolling 18-month global demand plan, keeping assumptions consistent across base trends, new launches, samples, promotions, retention strategy changes, and holiday and peak volumes.
• Own the aggregated, category-level global demand plan for revenue-generating units, partnering with category and regional/market planners who own SKU-level forecasts so the two levels reconcile.
• Lead the demand step of a newly formalized, integrated S&OP process spanning Demand, Supply, Commercial, Marketing and Finance, including monthly demand reviews with regional partners.
• Build the consensus demand plan with Commercial, Marketing, Finance and Supply, and represent demand planning at the consensus and executive tiers of S&OP, clearly communicating risks, opportunities and key assumption changes.
• Establish and own demand planning KPIs, including forecast accuracy, bias, and forecast value add, measured consistently by region, category and forecast horizon.
• Drive accuracy of new product launch forecasts through rigorous analysis of distribution builds, velocity expectations and comparable launch performance.
• Run an in-month global pacing view that surfaces revenue risks and opportunities early enough for Supply and Commercial to act.
• Deliver timely in-season analysis of promotions, events and launches so stakeholders understand results, forecast implications and downstream impacts.
• Flag demand shifts that create supply constraints or excess inventory risk, and partner with inventory and supply teams to align on resolution.
• Serve as a key member of the implementation team for the new demand planning solution, helping shape process design, forecasting methodology and KPI reporting within the tool.
• Prepare written analyses, documentation and reporting that build a consistent, well-understood demand planning process across regions.
