About the Job:

Demand Planning & Inventory Data Senior Specialist - Remote

About the Role:

We're looking for a data-driven Demand Planning & Inventory expert to own our forecasting process, lead S&OP, and optimize inventory across all warehouses. You'll ensure product availability, minimize stockouts and excess, and elevate planning accuracy--while keeping master data in SAP rock-solid.

What You'll Do:

Demand Planning & Forecasting:

Build and maintain accurate forecasts for all product lines using historicals, market trends, and sales inputs. Apply statistical tools/APS to evaluate models and test new methodologies. Continuously refine forecasts based on market dynamics and stakeholder feedback.

S&OP Leadership:

Run the monthly S&OP cycle to align demand and supply with business goals. Facilitate cross-functional S&OP meetings; surface risks, gaps, and scenarios. Communicate forecast and inventory status to stakeholders regularly.

Inventory Management & Master Data:

Track inventory health (DOH, turns, coverage vs policy) and trigger proactive actions (rebalancing, planned run-outs, write-off prevention). Implement best-practice controls (cycle counts, variance RCA, reorder policy reviews) to lift turns and reduce carrying cost. Own planning parameters (safety stock, min/max, lead times, lot sizes) with a fixed review cadence. Ensure SAP master data accuracy (UOM, lead times, MRP views, locations/bins, batch/expiry); resolve gaps with Warehouse/IT and enforce governance.

Continuous Improvement:

Identify process opportunities across planning and inventory. Introduce best practices and emerging tech to improve accuracy and efficiency. Stay current on industry trends and methods.

Ad Hoc:

Take on related tasks that support the team's objectives.

Experience:

5+ years in demand planning/forecasting or supply chain (FMCG/pet food preferred). Hands-on S&OP and inventory management experience.

Proven ability to juggle priorities in a fast-paced environment.

Certifications (Nice to Have):

APICS/CPIM/CSCP or equivalent; LEAN/Six Sigma (Black Belt or above a plus).

Skills & Attributes:

Forecasting & statistical modeling; inventory optimization. End-to-end supply chain understanding (procurement, production, logistics). Sharp data analysis and scenario modeling; detail-oriented with high data hygiene. Clear communicator and collaborator across Sales/Marketing/Finance/Supply. Growth mindset, resilient, innovative, customer-centric, and humble. Strong problem-solving and decision-making; able to lead cross-functional forums.
