Key Responsibilities
Lead the monthly demand planning cycle for the Chocolates category, generating a robust, data‑driven forecast across SKUs, channels, customers, and regions.
Use advanced statistical models and analytical tools to build, maintain, and continuously improve short‑, medium‑, and long‑term forecasts.
Own and drive improvements in forecast quality (accuracy, bias, fidelity, forecast value add), directly impacting service level, working capital, ageing, and cost‑to‑serve.
Lead the demand stream of the S&OP;/IBP process, running structured demand reviews and ensuring a single, aligned consensus forecast with Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Supply.
Translate commercial drivers (baseline, promotions, activations, NPD, price changes, distribution expansion, mix changes) into explicit demand signals and scenarios.
Partner closely with Revenue Growth Management, Category,



and Sales teams to understand elasticity, ATL/BTL plans, seasonality, and demand‑shaping actions and reflect these in the demand plan.
Monitor and report key KPIs such as forecast accuracy and bias, case fill rate, OTIF, inventory turns, ageing, and write‑offs; conduct root‑cause analysis and lead corrective action plans.
Manage and continuously improve S&OE;/ITP processes to connect weekly execution with the medium‑term demand plan, proactively addressing risks and opportunities.
Champion the deployment and enhancement of advanced planning systems (e.g., o9, SAP IBP, APO, Anaplan), including adoption of AI/ML‑based forecasting where relevant.
Lead or support core implementation projects for demand planning / IBP solutions, working with IT and global/regional teams.
Build forecasting and demand planning capability across the broader team through coaching, best‑practice sharing, and process standardization.
Provide clear, insight‑drive
