We are currently seeking a proactive and analytical Demand Planner to support the implementation and evolution of our Single Integrated Operations Plan (SIOP) process. This role will be critical in driving accurate, data-informed demand forecasts that align commercial insights with operational execution. You'll enable better decision-making across sales, supply chain, and production by delivering forecast visibility, scenario modeling, and customer-aligned planning.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Forecasting & Analytics
    • Develop and maintain a rolling 90-day demand forecast at the product family, customer, and regional level.
    • Analyze historical sales data, market trends, and customer input to generate high-fidelity forecasts.
    • Integrate account-level planning, sales funnel inputs, and rebate strategy impacts into the forecasting model.
    • Use PowerBI, Excel, and ERP data to visualize trends, identify variances, and support decision-making.
  • SIOP Process Ownership
    • Actively lead weekly SIOP meetings to present forecast assumptions, identify risks/opportunities, and recommend adjustments.
    • Align closely with Sales, Customer Service, and Operations to ensure demand plans are integrated across planning functions.
    • Drive improvements to forecast accuracy, lead time visibility, and inventory optimization through structured cadence and reporting.
  • Collaboration & Planning Integration
    • Work cross-functionally to link demand planning with supply, logistics, and workforce plans.
    • Translate customer trends and pipeline data into actionable insights for supply planning teams.
    • Partner with RSMs to capture sales inputs and monitor potential demand shifts related to promotions, rebates, or customer performance.
  • Process & Tool Development
    • Support the automation of demand planning processes, including potential scenario simulation or digital supply chain capabilities (nice to have).
    • Help evolve forecasting tools and templates as part of Infra Pipe's broader SIOP toolkit rollout.
    • Track and report on forecast accuracy and root causes for variance.

Required Skills & Experience:

  • 5+ years of experience in demand planning, supply chain, or operations planning within a manufacturing or industrial business.
  • Expertise in data analysis and forecasting tools (Excel, PowerBI, or ERP systems like IQMS/SAP).
  • Very strong understanding of SIOP principles and the ability to operate in structured, cross-functional planning environments.
  • Essential to work with both quantitative data and qualitative business intelligence from sales and customer teams.
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills to influence and align cross-functional stakeholders.

Nice-to-Have Skills:

  • Experience with MTS/MTO segmentation in manufacturing.
  • Exposure to CRM systems or pricing data to inform demand assumptions.
  • Familiarity with control tower or scenario-based planning tools.
  • Knowledge of rebate strategies and their impact on demand behavior.
