Job Responsibilities

• Demand Planning & Forecasting
  • Own the global demand plan — consolidate and reconcile inputs from regional sales teams, Product Management, and Finance into a single, statistically-grounded demand signal.
    • Develop and maintain multi-horizon rolling forecasts (12–18 months) with appropriate granularity by product family, channel, and region.
      • Establish forecast accuracy KPIs and drive continuous improvement; hold commercial stakeholders accountable for forecast quality.
        • Lead demand sensing and signal analysis to identify trends, risks, and upside opportunities before they materialize as supply surprises.
          • Champion in-quarter demand smoothing — actively manage bookings pacing, backlog health, and order patterns to prevent end-of-quarter loading.
