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.
  • Education

    What You’ll Bring

  • 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.
  • How to Apply
