This is a great opportunity to join one of the world's leading FMCG brands.
You'll be stepping into a business that's scaling fast across multiple retail channels, where forecasting accuracy has become a genuine commercial priority rather than a reporting exercise and joining a pilot that sits at the intersection of Commercial, Business Planning and Demand Planning - three teams that don't always speak the same language, and you're the translator.
You'll lead this pilot runs - deciding how to structure the SKU-level analysis, building the dashboards from scratch, and shaping the recommendations that go to leadership. If it lands, there's a real case for this becoming a permanent function - and you'll be the one who built the blueprint.
What you'll do
- Lead the design, execution and evaluation of a forecasting pilot at SKU level across key retail customers
- Deep-dive into SKU and account-level performance to establish historical trends,
promotional impacts and baseline forecasts
- Build automated, interactive Power BI dashboards that consolidate forecasting data from multiple commercial sources
- Partner with Business Planning and Demand Planning to align commercial targets with operational and inventory realities
- Present forecasting accuracy metrics and strategic recommendations to stakeholders to help decide whether this becomes a permanent framework
What you'll need
- Solid numerical and analytical skills with a genuine curiosity for digging into data
- Background in commercial business planning, inventory planning, demand forecasting or sales analysis - FMCG or retail experience essential
- Advanced Power BI (database connections, DAX, data modelling, interactive dashboards)
- Advanced Excel (complex formulas, Power Query, pivot tables)
- Comfortable translating complex data into plain, business-friendly language for non-technical stakeholders
