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 transparent 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.
