information to achieve an aligned volume forecast: they are the first point of contact internally for
these figures. They will be great at wrangling large sets of data and adhering to processes, but more
importantly will be bold and unafraid to challenge middle and senior managers across the business
on assumptions that are the building blocks to our volume forecasts, support the demand
management process and development at Beavertown.

- Use customer website links to monitor EPOS (electronic point of sale), customer stocks, forward forecast and service levels to identify changes in demand and proactively responding to new data,
- Deliver forecast accuracy improvements against defined KPI’s through collaboration with key stakeholders.
