Job Description The Sr Demand Planner develops accurate, data‑driven regional forecasts and provides clear insight that strengthens commercial decision‑making. This role partners closely with Sales, General Managers, Product, Finance, and Supply to ensure one aligned demand plan with transparent assumptions, risks, and opportunities. You will own forecast integrity, baseline methodology, demand analytics, and planning cadence, while supporting Sales and GMs in shaping the committed commercial demand plan. Demand Forecasting Build and maintain statistical baseline forecasts by region, channel, customer, and product. Integrate sales inputs, market signals, open orders, lifecycle status, and launch plans. Maintain seasonal profiles, monthly phasing, and clear documentation of assumptions. Improve forecast accuracy and reduce bias through disciplined analysis and updates. Demand Analysis & Insight Analyze demand trends, forecast changes, and exceptions. Track forecast accuracy, bias, and demand signal quality. Identify gaps vs. budget, order book, and actual demand. Highlight slow‑moving, excess, and at‑risk inventory and translate findings into actionable messages. Cross‑Functional Alignment Partner with Sales and GMs to validate assumptions and understand customer activity. Challenge unclear or unsupported inputs constructively. Communicate forecast changes, risks, and opportunities across Product, Finance, and Supply. Ensure assumptions and decisions are visible and documented. Product Lifecycle & Launch Planning Define demand assumptions for new product launches and portfolio changes. Support phase‑in/phase‑out planning and identify risks for slow‑moving or discontinued items. Compare launch forecasts against actual performance in post‑launch reviews. Demand-to-Supply Interface Translate the agreed demand plan into a clear signal for Supply Planning. Flag demand changes affecting inventory, service, or working capital. Support pre‑season builds, in‑season availability, and exit inventory decisions. Risk Management Identify and quantify demand risks such as stockouts, excess, and demand shortfalls. Develop scenarios to support planning discussions and escalate major changes through S&OP/IBP. Process & Capability Improvement Strengthen planning discipline and consistency across regions. Improve forecasting tools, reporting, and planning processes. Qualifications 5–8 years in demand planning, S&OP/IBP, commercial planning, or supply chain planning. Strong analytical skills and ability to simplify complex data. Commercial mindset with strong business judgment. Ability to influence and challenge stakeholders constructively. High ownership, attention to detail, and follow‑through. Strong Excel and data‑handling capability. Experience in FMCG, retail, outdoor, apparel, or sporting goods preferred. Exposure to global supply chains, long lead times, or seasonal/multi‑region planning is a plus. Additional Information This is a full-time, hybrid position; located in Broomfield, Colorado.
