Join a growing international consumer products business that is continuing to expand its presence across global markets. With ambitious growth plans and a focus on operational excellence, the company is investing heavily in developing best-in-class forecasting and demand planning capabilities. This is a unique opportunity to play a key role in shaping the future of demand planning across both established and emerging markets, while contributing to the rollout of a formal Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) framework that will support long-term commercial success.
As Demand Planner, you will act as the vital link between commercial ambitions and operational delivery. Working closely with Sales, Marketing, Supply Chain, and Procurement teams, you will convert sales targets and market opportunities into realistic, data-driven demand forecasts. You will be responsible for improving forecasting processes, analysing demand trends, measuring forecast accuracy, challenging assumptions, and ensuring supply plans are aligned with future demand. You will also play an important role in developing reporting, facilitating demand reviews, and helping create a single source of truth for business planning.
To be successful, you will have at least 2-3 years' experience in a Demand Planning, Forecasting, or Supply Planning role, ideally within a seasonal or trend-led industry such as consumer goods, retail, FMCG, or toys. You will be highly analytical with strong Excel or Google Sheets skills and experience using planning systems such as SAP, Oracle, or similar platforms. Exposure to Power BI, Tableau, QuickSight, or other reporting tools is highly desirable, as is experience working within an S&OP environment. Strong communication skills are essential, with the confidence to present insights, challenge stakeholders constructively, and translate complex data into meaningful business recommendations. Spanish language skills would be advantageous but are not essential.
