About the Role:

The Senior Demand Planning Manager is responsible for developing demand-based sales forecasts for all products within a Channel or region, by analyzing point of sales, market, historical, and forward-looking data.

• Partner with customers to maximize inventory efficiency and minimize product overstocks
• Facilitate and lead cross-functional demand alignment meetings with sales and finance
• Provide insight to senior leaders and gain consensus on the demand plan, KPI metrics, risks, and opportunities within the Integrated Business Planning cycle
• Develop SKU forecasts in partnership with customers
• Communicate and influence cross-functionally on issues related to product sales forecasts and product availability, and make appropriate recommendations
• Co-develop the inventory flow strategy for product allocations in partnership with Operations and Sales
• Drive continuous improvements to increase forecast accuracy and reduce forecast bias
• Develop and maintain best-in-class reporting on product, channel, and seasonality trends
• Play a critical role in any system optimization by providing your subject matter expertise
• Identify opportunities to continuously improve and mature the Integrated Business Planning (IBP) process
• A potential in the future to lead, direct, evaluate, and develop a direct report, with immediate need to demonstrate cross-functional leadership and demand planning subject matter expertise
  
  

About You:

• Experience with Netsuite ERP is a plus
• Strong analytical, organizational, communication, and executive presence skills required
• Beauty/Cosmetic brand experience preferred
• Highly motivated, self-starter who manages projects end-to-end and has a demonstrated track record of getting results, organizing, and prioritizing deadlines
