Milton Keynes, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom Mercedes-Benz Full time

Sales Planning Specialist

At Mercedes-Benz Cars, we're passionate about what we do. Whether we're exploring ways to make motoring more sustainable, or pushing the boundaries of technology, innovation underpins everything we do.

We're looking for someone highly-motivated and passionate, who understands planning and forecasting to support business decision making and can utilise their highly developed analytical skills and attention to detail.

In this role, you'll support the short, medium, and long-term Group Sales and Retail volume planning process for a range of models.

Your goal will be to help ensure CO2, financial, and volume targets are achieved.

Communication will be key as you will collaborate with stakeholders across the business to ensure volume plans for all sales channels accurately reflect business priorities, production requirements, and optimum stock positions.

You will calculate the production allocation each channel will receive by month for the models you manage, based on the latest production programme to meet agreed sales channel targets.

You'll work in a fast-paced environment where you will work closely with key stakeholders to collect and analyse feedback on the models you manage, making recommendations to the business to meet the business priorities and minimise special discount spend.

You'll demonstrate strong prioritisation abilities to handle multiple tasks and meet strict deadlines efficiently as you will be supporting the creation of the Sales Programme & MFP each month, outlining our top-line retails ambition by model, stock levels, and required production volumes.

As a key responsibility, you will lead and support regular review meetings with Sales Channel Heads to adjust retail and production plans based on sales trends, updating ordering templates as needed with Controlling's input.

Additionally, you will assist in the monthly analysis and distribution of Engine Mix files for vehicle orders, and support annual planning discussions with Region Europe through detailed analysis of market trends by model, segment, fuel type, and sales channel.

Advanced Excel and strong PowerPoint skills are essential for this role, as you will create complex Excel spreadsheets and translate data into clear, actionable presentations.

Power BI experience is a big advantage.

As well as the opportunity to work in a dynamic environment, with a great team and culture, we'll offer you a competitive salary and discretionary bonus structure.

We also hope you'll love our products as much as we do, with access to our colleague car schemes.

On top of that, you'll be able to join our pension scheme and you'll get a flexible benefit pot that can be used to find the benefits that are right for you.

We are pleased to be able to offer a hybrid working approach – achieving a great balance between remote and office working.

We're here to support you – we offer access to colleague wellbeing resources, including an Employee Assistance Programme and Mental health First Aiders, as well as flexible opportunities to support work life balance.

We'll also encourage your development, with the training and knowledge you need to reach your potential.

Through the doors of Mercedes-Benz Cars, you'll find a passionate team working to drive creative solutions, who think and act luxury brand in everything that we do.

The diversity of our colleagues reflects the diversity of our customers. This diversity is the driving force behind our ideas.

Once you click apply, we'll take you through to the Mercedes-Benz Group careers portal – this is our parent company site, so don't worry, you're in safe hands.

We're also open to working flexibly and are happy to discuss flexible working options.
