  • Monitor forecast accuracy, bias, and other KPIs; drive root‑cause analyses and corrective actions.
  • Coordinate with inventory / supply teams to translate demand plans into procurement / replenishment plans.
  • Support new product launches, product phase‑outs, promotions, and assortment changes by producing demand forecasts and scenario analyses.
  • Work closely with commercial teams to understand promotional calendars, price changes, and marketing initiatives and reflect their impact in the forecast.
  • Liaise with operations/logistics to flag risks (e.g. lead time variability, supply constraints) and propose mitigation strategies.
  • Prepare executive dashboards, reports, and presentations to senior leadership that synthesize demand trends, forecast errors, and strategic insights.
  • Drive adoption of better tools, automation, and analytical enhancements (e.g. move from Excel to forecasting software, predictive models) to scale the planning function.
  • Foster a culture of collaboration and data-driven decision making across teams.
