Management$190k–$240k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (maybe "About The Job" is the description). Use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Preserve all substantive info. We need sections only when posting has real specific content. We have: - About the role (description): paragraphs about responsibilities. Could be a section "About the role" with

    About the role

    then

    ... maybe multiple paragraphs. - Responsibilities: The description includes many responsibilities; we could treat them as a list under "Responsibilities". But we need to decide: The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can create sections for each that have content. We have content for: - About the role: maybe a brief intro: "Quality, efficiency, and safety all play a big role...". That's about the job. - Responsibilities: list of duties: Oversee and drive team facilitation of monthly GPS(S&OP) process..., Perform as functional leader..., Act as key supply-chain leader..., Responsible for quality of outputs..., Effectively lead and manage a team..., Lead, coach and develop..., Enable the Demand Planning team..., Establish annual forecast accuracy targets..., Participates as a key cross-functional leader..., Continue to research and leverage... We can turn these into bullet list. - Requirements/Qualifications: "About You" section: A B.S. degree (Masters preferred), preferably in Supply Chain, Logistics, Statistics, Operations or related subjects; 12-15 years relevant demand planning and leadership experience including S&OP management; Advanced skills in interfacing with senior leaders...; Previous knowledge of Microsoft products, Excel, PowerPoint, Word, SAP ECC; Functional expertise in end-to-end demand planning systems and processes; Strong knowledge of demand planning processes, tools and systems (e.g.-SAP-APO/IBP, o9, Oracle, JDA, Kinaxis); Consumer Packaged Goods(CPG) experience; Robust analytical skills, and advanced proficiency in data-driven decision-making and scenario planning/problem resolution; Competency in the following areas: Effective formal and informal communication skills at senior-leadership level; Strategic planning experience including development of 3-5 year business plan; Managing overall execution and team performance; Ensuring effective team leadership skills...; Leadership in monitoring and tracking of planning targets and directing of team priorities; Problem solving, root-cause analysis, agile process management; Approachability, self-development, negotiating; Action oriented leadership skills; Driving for Results; Monitoring and tracking of execution, steering of team priorities; Leads and manages overall planning and team performance. We can split into Requirements (education, experience) and Qualifications/Skills maybe. But we can combine into one "Requirements" section with bullet list. - Benefits: The posting mentions: Danone North America additionally offers a performance-based bonus and has a strong benefits package including Medical, Dental, Vision, Prescription Drug Coverage, 401k Plan, Wellness Program, Life Insurance, Tuition Reimbursement, Flexible Time Off, and Paid Parental Bonding Leave, among other benefit plan options. Also "To give our employees flexibility, Danone is a hybrid work environment. This role is considered a “hybrid” position that allows for flexible work, meaning it is a role where collaboration with key stakeholders in Danone Hubs occurs. While you may have the option to work from home on a schedule as agreed to with your supervisor, you are also expected to regularly report to your assigned office location at least 3 days per week." That's schedule/hybrid info. - Pay: "The salary range for this position is $190,000-240,000 USD. The exact salary offered will depend on several factors, including the candidate’s relevant experience, geographic location, internal equity, and market conditions." Thus we have Pay, Benefits, Schedule (hybrid work expectation). Also maybe "About Us" section: Life at Danone, Our Brands, Our Purpose, Our Benefits (again). But we should avoid duplication; we already have Benefits. The "About Us" includes Life at Danone, Our Brands, Our Purpose, Our Benefits (again). This is somewhat boilerplate but contains substantive info about company culture, brands, purpose. Should we include? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "About Us" sections are not boilerplate; they describe company. Might be considered substantive. However we already have Benefits section; the "Our Benefits" repeats benefits. Could be duplicate. We could keep a section "About Danone" with subpoints: Life at Danone (approx 5,000 employees, 13 production locations), Our Brands (list), Our Purpose (mission to bring health through food, world’s largest B Corp). That seems substantive. We need to avoid duplication: we already have Benefits section; we can still include About Danone but not repeat benefits. Thus sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay, Schedule, About Danone (maybe "About Us"). We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have concrete content. Now format: Use

    for each section heading. Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

      for prose. We need to decide which content goes in

      vs list. For About the role: we have a paragraph: "Quality, efficiency, and safety all play a big role in our work at Danone. Manufacturing the best products and supplying them to meet demand is a key driver for the Supply Chain team. We are currently looking to hire a Head of Demand Planning based in Louisville, CO or White Plains, NY!" That's prose. Could be

      . For Responsibilities: list bullet points. For Requirements: list bullet points (education, experience, skills). Could be grouped. For Benefits: list bullet points (Medical, Dental, Vision, Prescription Drug Coverage, 401k Plan, Wellness Program, Life Insurance, Tuition Reimbursement, Flexible Time Off, Paid Parental Bonding Leave, performance-based bonus). Also maybe mention hybrid work environment? That's schedule. For Pay:

      with salary range sentence. For Schedule:

      about hybrid work expectation: "To give our employees flexibility, Danone is a hybrid work environment. This role is considered a “hybrid” position that allows for flexible work, meaning it is a role where collaboration with key stakeholders in Danone Hubs occurs. While you may have the option to work from home on a schedule as agreed to with your supervisor, you are also expected to regularly report to your assigned office location at least 3 days per week." For About Danone: Could have

      for Life at Danone,

        for Brands,

        for Purpose. We must not include duplicated lines: The Benefits section appears also in About Us; we will not repeat benefits there. Now produce HTML fragment. Check for any boilerplate: Remove EEO, California Data Privacy Law, etc. Also remove "Learn more about Life at Danone", "Learn more about our mission", "Learn more about our benefits", "click here". Those are like calls to action; maybe considered boilerplate/application instructions? They are navigation-like. We should remove those lines. Also remove "Our Benefits" heading if it's just a link; but we already have Benefits section with details. The "Our Benefits" heading in About Us is just a heading before list; we can ignore. Thus we will not include any "Learn more about" sentences. Now craft. Let's list responsibilities bullet points: - Oversee and drive team facilitation of the monthly GPS(S&OP) process including maintaining the rolling 18-24 month consensus demand planning process while partnering across all Danone Business Units(BUs) and Sales Channels including VP/GMs, Sales, Marketing, Finance and Supply Chain - Perform as the functional leader/owner for driving effective implementation of the Demand Planning Target Operating Models(TOMs) including daily, weekly, monthly and annual interaction models. - Act as a key supply-chain leader throughout the escalation process with key stakeholders across business units, sales channels and the supply chain leadership team. - Responsible for the quality of outputs as measured by KPIs including forecast accuracy measures, adherence to the planning cycle and effective communication throughout the organization. - Effectively lead and manage a team that includes Directors, Senior Managers, Managers and Demand Planners who drive the full planning cycle across all time fences to achieve desired results. - Lead, coach and develop the Demand Planning team as is consistent with Danone Mission and Values including effective talent management and succession planning while insuring team members have opportunities to excel in roles and elevate their skills. - Enable the Demand Planning team to drive the attainment of key case fill KPIs while also ensuring the plan supports delivery of finished goods at the lowest landed cost and minimizes obsolescence and waste throughout the supply chain. - Establish annual forecast accuracy targets and communicate monthly forecast error results versus established targets while ensuring a process that drives a state of continuous improvement in results is in place and executed throughout the Demand Planning team. - Participates as a key cross-functional leader to continuously improve how the team is working and ensure key tools are leveraged to their full extent while providing feedback to the Process Stewards, Data Stewards, Forecast Analysts and o9 System Solution Owners. - Continue to research and leverage Danone Global and industry best practices around demand planning/forecasting, systems and tools that will support the company’s growth and optimize the efficient use of resources.
