Agile Forecasting & Scenario Modeling

  • Monitor real-time demand signals and adjust forecasts dynamically to reflect changes in customer orders, market conditions, and supply constraints.
  • Conduct scenario planning to evaluate the impact of demand variability, product customization, and lead time fluctuations.
  • Collaborate with cross functional teams to anticipate demand shifts due to new product introductions, phase-outs, or customer-specific projects.
  • SIOP Leadership & Collaboration

  • Lead monthly Demand Review meetings and contribute to Executive SIOP discussions with actionable insights and risk assessments.
  • Drive integration across SIOP to ensure synchronized decision-making and resource allocation.
  • Promote continuous improvement in SIOP processes, leveraging digital tools and analytics.
  • Performance Management & Analytics

  • Track forecast accuracy, bias, and demand adherence metrics; develop corrective action plans to improve performance.
  • Provide executive-level reporting and visualizations using tools like Power BI, Tableau, or advanced Excel dashboards.
  • Support root cause analysis for demand deviations and implement data-driven solutions.
  • Continuous Improvement & Innovation

  • Champion demand segmentation strategies to improve forecast granularity and responsiveness.
  • Lead initiatives to digitize and automate demand planning workflows using ERP and advanced planning systems (APS).
  • Collaborate with IT and Data Science teams to enhance predictive analytics and machine learning capabilities.
  • Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor's Degree
  • 2+ years of experience with demand planning experience in a discrete, make-to-order manufacturing environment.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Bachelor's Degree in Supply Chain Management, Engineering, Business Administration, or related field.
  • ASCM or IBF certification a plus
  • Advanced proficiency in Excel, Access, and ERP systems (JDE, SAP, or equivalent).
  • Proven ability to analyze large datasets and translate insights into actionable plans.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • Experience with demand planning in an engineer-to-order or project-based manufacturing setting.
  • Familiarity with digital planning tools (e.g., Kinaxis, o9, Blue Yonder).
  • Experience with product lifecycle management and customer-specific forecasting.
  • What You Will Gain

  • Health Coverage : Choose from three medical plans, dental, and vision options
  • Financial Protection : Health Savings Accounts (HSA), Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), Life, AD&D, and Disability Insurance
  • Paid Time Off : Vacation, sick days, company holidays, and various leave options (parental, FMLA, etc)
