About the Role


We are seeking a Demand Planning Analyst on a 12 month Fixed Term Contract to support our Demand Planner in consolidating long-term demand plans as part of our Sales & Operating Planning process, with a focus on transitioning to fully integrated business planning. This role is crucial in optimising weekly demand to ensure product availability and freshness.


You will analyse long-term forecasts, working closely with sales teams, Brand and Trade Marketing, and business plans to assess performance, track opportunities, and provide visibility on product demand. The role involves shaping forecasts from 3 months to 3 years out, participating in monthly reviews, and aligning demand and supply processes to meet budget goals and support the broader supply chain strategy


Responsibilities


As a key member of the Demand Team, the Demand Planning Analyst is responsible for linking Demand Planning, Product Supply, and Demand Control to assess demand, availability, freshness, and product risk. You will formalise and assess the demand plan in collaboration with marketing and sales teams, ensuring visibility and granularity for effective supply chain planning. This includes managing seasonal and promotional specialties to meet customer volume requirements and aligning forecasts with brand and sales plans.


You will work closely with the Customer Supply Manager and various teams across sales, marketing, and supply chain to ensure accurate demand signals and visibility across the supply chain. This involves contributing to the consensus demand plan, managing monthly forecast processes, and attending key operational and demand consensus meetings to identify risks and opportunities. Your role includes influencing decisions across teams to ensure that the demand plan meets business expectations and drives forecast accuracy.


The role involves analysing sales data, historical trends, and promotional impacts to adjust future estimations and improve forecast accuracy. You will manage and optimise APO functionality, utilise forecasting tools, and develop BI/XL Cubed reports to support demand analysis. Regular performance reporting against KPIs, such as forecast accuracy and product development metrics, is also a critical part of the role, ensuring that any underperformance is addressed promptly and effectively.


Who we’re looking for


The ideal candidate must have strong forecasting experience and be proficient in technical systems, particularly SAP. Advanced Excel skills and strong analytical abilities are essential for managing and analysing demand data effectively.


Additionally, you should possess strong influencing skills, capable of engaging stakeholders at all levels to ensure alignment and accuracy in demand planning.


Experience in an FMCG or retail environment is advantageous, providing valuable context and insight into the fast-paced and dynamic nature of demand planning in these sectors
