About the Role

We're looking for a Demand Planning Specialist to own and improve our hardware demand forecast, with a primary focus on the Americas region (U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Brazil), while maintaining a global mindset and supporting forecasting efforts beyond the region when needed. In this role, you'll be responsible for building and maintaining accurate demand forecasts, aligning with commercial teams on market opportunities, and translating demand insights into operational planning.

As our business continues to scale across regions and product lines, this role will be critical in ensuring we can support merchant growth with the right hardware in the right place, at the right time. You'll be responsible for tracking forecast performance, identifying gaps, and ensuring tight alignment between commercial expectations and supply chain capabilities.

This role will work cross-functionally with Supply Planning, Commercial, Warehouse & Logistics, Operations Analytics, and Product teams. You'll help bring structure to the way we forecast, influence internal stakeholders, and drive process improvements that increase forecast accuracy and cross-team visibility. You'll be stepping into a planning function that continues to mature - with the opportunity to shape how we scale our demand planning capabilities across a diverse and fast-growing region. We're looking for someone who can assess what's in place today, identify opportunities for improvement, and help evolve Supply Chain capabilities.

• Coordinate with Product and Ops Analytics to improve forecast accuracy
• Support allocation planning and new product forecasting during launch phases
• Proactively surface issues, bottlenecks, or risks and escalate when appropriate
