- 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.

- 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 SOE/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.
