Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

• Actively challenge assumptions and inputs to improve forecast integrity and planning quality
• Translate data into clear, actionable recommendations that influence business decisions
• Own and contribute demand inputs into monthly demand review cycles with clear, data-backed inputs
• Apply strong commercial awareness, including stock provisions, excess risk, and P&L impact
• Manage end-to-end product lifecycle planning, including new launches, assortment updates, and discontinuations
• Align planning outputs with promotional strategy, marketing calendar, GWP/sampling, and bundling initiatives
• Monitor launch and campaign performance and dynamically reforecast based on early signals (within ~4–8 weeks)
• Identify risks early (stock-outs, overstock, slow movers) and drive timely mitigation actions
• Manage inventory health across markets, ensuring optimal availability while minimising excess and ageing stock
• Continuously refine forecasts based on real-time performance and structured feedback loops
• Ensure strong alignment between launch performance and future planning assumptions
• Identify inefficiencies and drive automation and process improvements across planning workflows
• Improve tools, dashboards, and planning frameworks to enhance decision-making speed and quality
