Demand Planner

**About the Role**

We are looking for someone who is fantastic at forecasting our sales demand requirements. You’ll be so good that people will think you have a crystal ball (which is totally optional).

Are you passionate about making sure that our ovens get to our customers on time every time? For this Demand Planner role, we’re looking for someone who will use business intelligence and forecast information gathered from across our team (or the previously mentioned crystal ball) to create and maintain our forecast models.You will ensure we are reactive with maintaining supply to maximise our sales opportunities. You will produce fabulous pieces of analysis with excellent accuracy and attention to detail, and you will have a thirst for digging into the data to understand the drivers of certain buying behaviours and what this might mean for future demand. You will also definitely eat pizza.

This is a hybrid role where you'll spend 2 days per week (usually Tuesday and Wednesday) working from our office at Edinburgh Park.

**A Little About Ooni**
There’s nothing quite like a great slice of pizza(Okay, maybe two slices, then.)

Way back in 2012, we created a brand new outdoor cooking category with our first portable wood-fired pizza oven. Now, the Ooni lineup includes gas and multi-fuel pizza ovens, all of which bake amazing Neapolitan pizza in just 60 seconds. Yum.

These days, we’re all about growth. We sell Ooni pizza ovens, accessories and groceries around the world and have an expanding (and totally awesome) global Ooni user community who love our products and use them to make epic pizza for friends and family. We’re at that perfect stage of growth, where we’re still small enough for you to make a major difference but big enough to have the resources to do amazing things.
