Manager, Demand Planning
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to parse the posting: It includes "About The Company" paragraph, then "Position Summary", then "Responsibilities:", then "Requirements:", then later "The base salary range for this role is listed above." Actually base salary range not given in text; they say "listed above" but not present. Then they talk about total compensation includes base salary, annual company-based performance bonus, equity. Under bonus program, up to 200% of target bonus. Then benefits: medical, dental, vision insurance, retirement savings plan, gender neutral parental leave, unlimited paid time off. Also mention flexible time off, year-round half-day Fridays, hybrid 3 day in office, 2 day at home work environment earlier in company description. Also mention total compensation philosophy offers every full-time new hire competitive pay and benefits, bonus eligibility (200% of target over the last seven fiscal years), equity, flexible time off, year-round half-day Fridays, and a hybrid 3 day in office, 2 day at home work environment.
Thus we have content for Benefits (flexible time off, half-day Fridays, hybrid schedule, medical/dental/vision, retirement, parental leave, unlimited PTO). Also Pay: they mention base salary range not given, but they say total compensation includes base salary, bonus, equity. They mention bonus eligibility up to 200% of target. They say "The base salary range for this role is listed above." Not actually present, so we cannot infer a specific range. Should we include Pay section? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. For Pay, they do mention base salary range is listed above (but not actually present). They also mention total compensation includes base salary, annual company-based performance bonus, and equity. Bonus eligibility up to 200% of target. That is some pay info. However they didn't give actual numbers. The instruction says: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Since they didn't give actual numbers, but they did state that total compensation includes base salary, bonus, equity, and bonus up to 200% target. That is substantive? It's not a specific number but it's still info about compensation structure. I'd say we can include a Pay section describing that. However they also said "The base salary range for this role is listed above." Since it's not present, maybe we should not include Pay because it's ambiguous. Safer to not include Pay section unless we have explicit numbers or range. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." They did state some info about compensation (bonus, equity). But they didn't state base salary range. However they said total compensation includes base salary, annual company-based performance bonus, and equity. That is stating something about pay components. I'd lean to include a Pay section with that info, as it's substantive. But we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". The info we have is not filler; it's actual description of compensation components. So include Pay.
Schedule: they mention flexible time off, year-round half-day Fridays, hybrid 3 day in office, 2 day at home work environment. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section.
Benefits: they list medical, dental, vision insurance, retirement savings plan, gender neutral parental leave, unlimited paid time off. Also earlier they mentioned flexible time off, half-day Fridays, hybrid work environment (these could be benefits or schedule). We'll separate: Benefits: medical/dental/vision, retirement, parental leave, unlimited PTO. Schedule: flexible time off, half-day Fridays, hybrid 3/2.
Now About the Company: we have a paragraph about e.l.f. Beauty purpose, portfolio, fiscal year 26 net sales $1.6B, 7 consecutive years growth, total compensation philosophy etc. That's substantive. Should we put that under About the Company? The instruction headings examples include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. They didn't list About the Company but we can still use
for section headings; they gave examples but not exclusive. Probably we should include About the Company as a heading. However they said "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use About the Company as a heading.
Position Summary: we have a paragraph: "The Demand Planning Manager is responsible for developing and managing the e.l.f. demand forecasts for the e.l.f. international and domestic retail business segments. This includes establishing new ways of working with international counterparts to support the established strategy." That's substantive; we could include as a summary paragraph under maybe About the role? But they said not to repeat job title as heading. We could include a
for position summary.
Responsibilities: list bullet points.
Requirements: list bullet points.
Qualifications/Skills: The requirements list includes education, experience, skills. Could split into Requirements and Qualifications? But we have only one list; we could treat as Requirements. The instruction allows Qualifications heading if we have content. We could split: Requirements (experience, operations) and Qualifications (education, skills). But to avoid thin sections, we can combine into Requirements.
Better to follow the given examples: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have content for About the role (position summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (experience, operations), Qualifications (education, preferred fields), Skills (analytical, communication, Excel, etc.), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Let's extract:
About the role: Position Summary paragraph.
Responsibilities: bullet list after "Responsibilities:":
- Defining and executing the demand planning strategy for domestic and international retail channels
- Manage and communicate existing or potential business risk to service and working capital
- Accountable for the maintaining metrics behind supply chain planning analytics (e.g., forecast accuracy, bias, pareto of item/customer demand, etc.)
- Create and implement statistically driven forecasting methods
- Process lead for establishing best practices with counter parts in sales, sales planning, and new product development
Requirements: after "Requirements:" bullet list (some are long sentences). Let's parse:
- 2 to 5 years’ experience within Demand Planning, Supply Planning, or Supply Chain Analytics
- Operations experience in a food, CPG, or cosmetics manufacturing company of relevant size and complexity; >$50 million revenue, high-SKU, national distribution, big box retail customer base, and rapidly changing product line / SKU mix
- Cross-functional S&OP modeling and process leadership experience; inclusive of demand planning, supply planning, and product lifecycle management
- Demonstrated experience creating, implementing, and leading cross-functional business processes from a starting point of limited maturity and sophistication; experience managing cross-functional teams. Nimble and entrepreneurial in nature
- Experience building driver-based forecasts for a large SKU mix with complex product lifecycles, including incrementality, cannibalization, and volume recapture
- Bachelor’s Degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, Economics, or another analytical field preferred or equivalent experience
- Strong working knowledge of planning process within CPG, fashion, or seasonal products
- High drive for results and willing to work in a demanding & rapid paced environment
- Excellent communication skills both verbal and written
- Excellent analytical, follow-up, and attention to detail skills
- Ability to work autonomously across functions to meet deadlines and drive tasks to completion
- System implementation experience a plus
- Excellent Excel Skills and knowledge
- Access and SQL experience a plus
- Proficient in Microsoft Suite (Word and PowerPoint)
Qualifications: maybe we can treat education as Qualifications. But we already have education in Requirements. Could split: Qualifications: Bachelor’s Degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, Economics, or another analytical field preferred or equivalent experience. Strong working knowledge of planning process within CPG, fashion, or seasonal products. High drive for results... etc. But that seems overlapping.
Skills: Excellent communication skills, analytical, follow-up, attention to detail, ability to work autonomously, system implementation experience a plus, Excellent Excel Skills and knowledge, Access and SQL experience a plus, Proficient in Microsoft Suite (Word and PowerPoint). Could separate.
But to avoid many thin sections, we could combine Requirements and Qualifications and Skills into one Requirements section. However instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (which includes experience, education, skills), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's 5 sections.
