What Will Put You Ahead

• Previous demand planning or S&OP/GSOP experience in a global manufacturing environment or with comparable products
• Experience with SAP, Power BI, and forecasting or planning tools such as Maestro, Oracle, JDA, or similar platforms
• Working knowledge of statistical forecasting methods, demand segmentation, forecast accuracy, and bias measurement
