- Build and maintain centralized planning dashboards and reporting tools that enable automated tracking of forecast accuracy, bias, and key demand planning metrics
- Support monthly and quarterly Sales and Operations Planning processes by delivering demand insights, scenario analyses, and recommendations to planning leadership

- Identify gaps in planning data infrastructure and partner with data engineering and analytics teams to prioritize and deliver improvements
- Communicate forecast rationale, risks, and opportunities to cross-functional stakeholders and planning leadership in a clear and structured manner
- Develop scenario and sensitivity analyses to assess the demand impact of product launches, channel shifts, promotional events, and macroeconomic changes

Preferred Qualifications
- Familiarity with product lifecycle planning, channel inventory management, or new product introduction forecasting
- Experience adhering to and implementing responsible, ethical AI practices (e.g., risk assessment, bias mitigation, quality and accuracy reviews)
- Demonstrated ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt/context engineering, agent orchestration) and staying current with emerging AI technologies
- Demonstrated ability to integrate AI tools to optimize/redesign workflows and drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency gains, quality improvements)
