Analyst — Demand Planning

Analyst — Demand Planning 

Denver, CO 
Salary range:$72,000–$96,331  

Turn maintenance data into an executable plan 
As Analyst — Demand Planning, you’ll use forecasting, analytics and business intelligence to help Frontier anticipate the resources needed to support aircraft maintenance. 

You’ll develop and maintain short- and long-range demand models for labor, materials, tooling and facilities, then work across Maintenance, Engineering, Materials, Purchasing and operational teams to translate those forecasts into practical maintenance plans. 

This role combines statistical modeling with real-world airline operations, helping teams anticipate demand, identify risk and make informed planning decisions. 

Why this role matters 
Effective maintenance planning starts before an aircraft arrives for work. Accurate forecasts help ensure the right people, parts, tooling and facilities are available when maintenance is due. Your analysis will help Frontier anticipate demand, reduce operational constraints and make better-informed maintenance-planning decisions across the fleet. 

How you’ll work 
This role operates with general direction and typically receives limited day-to-day instruction, with broader guidance provided for new assignments. Success in the role requires analytical judgment, initiative, collaboration and the ability to manage multiple priorities while communicating effectively across technical and operational teams. 

Leadership scope 
This is an individual contributor role with no direct reports. The Analyst may provide technical guidance, facilitate cross-functional discussions and support the work of the demand-planning team.

• Develop forecasting models using demand trends and patterns. 
• Gather, analyze and validate data. 
• Perform statistical modeling and review forecast results. 
• Apply error-analysis techniques to improve forecast accuracy.

• Conduct monthly forecast maintenance and monitor changes in forecasts, budgets and business strategies. 

Turn forecasts into operational plans 

• Forecast long- and short-range labor, material, tooling and facility requirements. 
• Adjust demand based on operational and material constraints.

• Establish and optimize maintenance-task schedules using applicable maintenance-program intervals. 
• Establish and optimize material requirements to support contractual needs. 
• Review long-term Other Deferred Maintenance (ODM) items for staffing, skills, equipment, parts and tooling requirements. 

Coordinate maintenance planning 

• Facilitate monthly planning meetings and help build consensus across stakeholders. 
• Coordinate requirements for staffing, materials, parts, tooling, equipment, skill sets and available maintenance time. 
• Establish, coordinate and monitor Line Maintenance activity on a sliding-window basis. 
• Generate and authorize work orders in FMIS/TRAX. 
• Support planning and scheduling of Engineering-issued maintenance requirements. 
• Partner with Line Maintenance, Heavy Maintenance, Inspection, Engineering, Materials, Purchasing, Maintenance Control, System Operations Control and other operational teams. 

Support better decisions 

• Communicate forecasts and inventory estimates to management. 
• Support risk assessments and mitigation activities. 
• Develop and recommend solutions that improve forecast accuracy. 
• Translate complex technical information into clear visual information for non-technical audiences. 
• Provide technical guidance to the team and department when needed. 

What you’ll bring 

Required 

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Operations, Supply Chain or another relevant field, or four years of direct demand-planning analytics experience in lieu of a degree. 
• At least two years of experience in demand planning, forecasting, statistical modeling or similar work.
