About the Job:

Demand Planning & Inventory Data Senior Specialist - Remote

Level: Specialist

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.

What You'll Bring:

Education:

  • Bachelor's in Supply Chain, Business, or related; Master's a plus.

Experience:

  • 5+ years in demand planning/forecasting or supply chain (FMCG/pet food preferred).
  • Hands-on S&OP and inventory management experience.
  • Strong proficiency with APS/ERP (SAP or similar), MRP, purchasing, and production planning.
  • Advanced Excel and Microsoft 365; working knowledge of Project and Power BI.
  • 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.

Why Join Us:

  • High-impact, end-to-end ownership of the planning cycle.
  • Cross-functional exposure and leadership in S&OP.
  • Opportunity to modernize tools, data, and processes.
