  • Support new product launches through forecast modeling, initial buys, and ramp planning

  • Collaborate closely with Product and Sourcing/Production teams on cost optimization and SKU rationalization

  • Strong understanding of forecast accuracy metrics (MAPE, WAPE, Bias, MAE)

Data & Analytics
  • Advanced Excel skills (Power Query, Power Pivot, complex formulas)
  • Working knowledge of statistical analysis and scenario modeling

Reporting & Visualization
  • Experience building dashboards in Power BI, Tableau, or similar BI tools
  • Ability to translate complex data into clear, actionable insights for cross-functional teams

Supply Chain & Process Improvement
  • Knowledge of S&OP / IBP processes and supporting systems
  • Understanding of inventory planning fundamentals, including lead times, service levels, and replenishment logic
  • Experience with scenario planning for promotions, new launches, and demand variability
  • Ability to enhance automated forecasting workflows and improve data quality and planning processes

Salary: $120,000
Why Join Us
