About the Role
We are seeking a Forecasting & Demand Planner to join our disruptive beauty industry company. This role involves owning and managing a diverse SKU portfolio, translating insights into demand plans, and collaborating cross-functionally to ensure forecast accuracy and drive the S&OP process.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the primary master data steward, leading the ongoing maintenance, auditing, and continuous improvement of critical planning parameters.
- Establish and enforce organisation wide data governance standards and validation protocols to ensure high data quality and cross-system consistency.
- Own and manage a diverse SKU portfolio, including new product developments (NPD) and existing product developments (EPD).
- Translate member and customer insights into regional (UK & US) SKU level demand plans across different channels using Google Sheets and Supply Chain Planning software.
- Ensure accuracy of demand forecasts in reflecting known market activities, product launch timings and initiatives by building key relationships with Finance, NPD, Growth and Marketing teams.
- Work with NPD teams to develop launch forecasts, considering expected demand and potential cannibalization of existing products and share insights as part of the Commercial Sign off process.
- Assess the impact of promotional activity on demand forecasts and sharing insights with Finance, NPD, Supply and Marketing teams.
- Facilitate and drive key segments of the monthly Integrated Business Planning (IBP) / S&OP process, ensuring consensus across Finance, NPD, and Supply Chain.
- Partner cross-functionally and hold teams accountable to timelines, using data-driven insights to challenge assumptions and mitigate forecast risks.
- Independently build and refine demand forecasts for new regions and markets as the business expands.
- Track, analyse and report on forecast accuracy and bias, identifying root causes or variances and implementing continuous improvements.
- Work with Supply Planning to align inventory and service level targets including quarterly update of ABCD Sales ranking.
- Pro-actively manage slow-moving or obsolete stocks (SLOBS), collaborating with commercial, marketing and supply teams to reflect clearance plans in the forecast.
Requirements
- Proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets (pivot tables, formulas, data analysis).
- Experience with ERP (e.g., NetSuite) and demand planning tools (e.g., Anaplan) is a plus.
- Strong, proven expertise in forecasting techniques, statistical modelling, and data manipulation.
- Strong interpersonal skills: an impactful communicator who builds strong, collaborative relationships across teams, and is able to influence across all levels.
- High ownership & accountability: a self-starter who operates with high autonomy and an execution-focused mindset, taking end-to-end accountability for the demand signal.
