Meet the Team

Cisco’s Global Planning organization is transforming how we forecast demand across our portfolio by combining causal AI with deep market, product, and customer intelligence. As part of this mission, the Central Forecasting team applies Causal AI to deliver resilient, transparent, and actionable demand insights for over 10,000 primary and attached hardware Product IDs (SKUs). Our work directly informs operational demand plans, S&OP; processes, and financial references across the enterprise, earning recognition as a top five finalist for Process and Technology Innovation in the 2024 Gartner Power of the Profession Supply Chain Awards.

We are seeking a Senior Business Analyst to own the complete demand forecast for designated Business Entities. Operating as a crucial bridge between the Data Science and Demand Planning teams, you will evaluate outputs from multi-level causal machine learning models and apply real-world commercial logic to build defensible, highly accurate forecasts. This influential role goes beyond data aggregation,



enabling you to actively shape demand strategy, explain variance to leadership, and influence key stakeholders across Supply Chain, Finance, and Business Units. Because this role supports a globally distributed team across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, it requires adaptable working arrangements, including regular evening overlap to collaborate effectively with global stakeholders.

Your Impact

• Business Intelligence & AI Refinement: Review causal machine learning outputs across aggregate, platform, and Product ID (SKU) levels, applying qualitative business context—such as sales pipelin
