Job description

Oats Overnight is on a mission to build a generational CPG brand. Since 2016, our high-protein, drinkable oatmeal has reached over a million customers through direct-to-consumer, and we're now scaling with all major nationwide retail and club partners. Our goal: become a household brand by leveraging speed, storytelling, and strategy.

We are vertically integrated: we develop, manufacture, and fulfill everything in-house. This operational control allows us to engage customers directly into the R&D process, an initiative where we were first-to-market in CPG. It also makes our brand tangible and real: our factory, our team, and our product pipeline are all part of the narrative.

This is an exciting stage, we are emerging as a significant omni-channel brand and launching new products to capture significant market share across verticals. We want you to help us get there.

Every teammate here has equity because we're building something big, and everyone plays an important role. If you're excited about building a brand that does things differently, this is that opportunity.

What's The Job

The Sales Planning Analyst is the primary finance point of contact for the Sales team on volume and spend forecasting. This role partners closely with Sales, Operations, and Demand Planning to build accurate, confidence weighted forecasts, manage trade promotion investments, and ensure trade data integrity across our systems.

• Partner with sales operations to manage gross to net mechanics, including deductions and disputes, while enhancing trade forecasting processes.
• Develop and maintain sales volume and spend dashboards to monitor performance against financial targets.
• Evaluate the ROI of trade promotions and provide strategic insights to inform investment decisions.
• Improve trade spend efficiency by analyzing low return promotions and collaborating with sales to reinvest in higher performing opportunities.
• Partner with Sales and Account teams to support customer planning, joint business plans, and negotiation preparation.
• Other duties as assigned
