This role blends algorithmic planning with business acumen—leveraging statistical and forecasting models, scenario modeling, and cross-functional inputs—to drive service levels, profitability, and operational efficiency. The analyst acts as a key integrator across Sales, Marketing, Business Units, Supply Chain, Quality, Logistics, Finance, Operations, and Customer Service, aligning demand, supply, and revenue plans while enabling effective decision-making.

  • Build and maintain demand forecasts using statistical methods (e.g., exponential smoothing, ARIMA, regression) and machine-learning–based forecasting algorithms as appropriate.
  • Segment demand (e.g., ABC/XYZ, lifecycle stages) and apply fit-for-purpose algorithms to improve forecast accuracy and reduce bias.
  • Integrate external signals (market trends, seasonality, macro factors) with internal data (historical orders, bookings, backlog) to enhance plan fidelity.
• Integrated Business Planning & Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Partner with Sales and Marketing to incorporate pipeline, and new product introductions (NPIs).

  • Quantify tradeoffs (revenue, margin, service levels, expedite costs) and recommend actions with clear assumptions and sensitivities.
• Analytics, Insights & Continuous Improvement
  • Analyze demand, supply, and shipment trends to identify opportunities, risks, and root causes of variance.
  • Develop reports that communicate plan changes, accuracy metrics, bias, and performance.
  • Lead improvement initiatives to enhance forecast accuracy, shorten planning cycles.

• Bachelor’s degree in supply chain management, Math, Business, Economics, Engineering, Data Analytics, or related field.
