What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Demand Planning Analyst position at Find Great People | FGP?
We’re hiring a Demand Planning & Inventory Analyst to support a growing consumer products business with a broad, multi‑SKU portfolio.
This role sits at the intersection of Sales, Operations, and Supply Chain. Sales owns the demand forecast — you validate it using historical data, trends, and seasonality, then help translate that demand into sound purchasing and inventory decisions.
What you’ll be responsible for:
- Validating Sales forecasts using data and appropriate forecasting methods
- Supporting purchasing decisions with clear assumptions and documentation
- Leading the monthly PSI (Planning / Sales / Inventory) process
- Owning inventory health after purchase — monitoring stock levels, identifying risks, and driving corrective actions (stockouts, excess, expediting, etc.)
- Partnering closely with Sales and Ops to keep inventory aligned with demand
- Pulling and analyzing data from ERP systems and maintaining planning files
What we’re looking for:
- 2–5 years of experience in demand planning, inventory analysis, or supply chain analytics
- Strong Excel skills and comfort working with data
- Solid understanding of forecasting fundamentals and how to apply them in a business context
- Someone who can challenge assumptions thoughtfully and communicate tradeoffs clearly
- Consumer products or multi‑SKU experience is a plus
Why this role is appealing:
- You influence real purchasing decisions, not just reports
- You own the inventory outcome, not just the forecast
- High visibility and strong cross‑functional exposure in a growing organization
Salary : $80,000 - $90,000
