Do you have a passion for turning demand into executable plans?

We’re looking for a Global Demand Planner to own and elevate Avire’s end-to-end demand planning process. This role is key to our growth strategy, leading S&OE and S&OP forums to unify demand signals and turn commercial goals into actionable plans for manufacturing and supply chain.

What will you be doing?

• Own the end-to-end demand planning cycle, forecast accuracy and planning governance across all commercial regions.
• Lead global and regional S&OE (Sales & Operations Execution) and S&OP (Sales & Operations Planning) cycles, ensuring robust demand signals in Microsoft Dynamics 365.
• Partner closely with Commercial Regions, Finance, Supply Planning, Product Management, R&D and Manufacturing Operations.

Forecast and Demand Planning

• Develop and continuously improve statistical forecasts, incorporating commercial intelligence, lifecycle status, and known market events.
• Consolidate regional and intercompany demand inputs, translate into a global demand signal for supply planning and executive review.
• Monitor and report forecast accuracy (DPA, MAPE, Bias, Forecast Stability) across regions and product categories.
• Lead weekly S&OE meetings to resolve short-term supply/demand imbalances, prioritize orders, and ensure adherence to the committed build plan.
• Identify demand risks, upside opportunities and demand shifts requiring immediate action.
• Coordinate with Procurement, Production Planning, Customer Service, Manufacturing and Logistics to maintain OTIF performance for all commercial regions and manufacturing hubs.
• Facilitate and orchestrate the monthly global S&OP cycle.
• Drive cross‑functional consensus on demand plans, supply constraints, inventory strategies and financial alignment.
• Prepare S&OP reporting packages: demand summaries, forecast vs. financial comparison, scenario analyses, key risks and recommendations.

Collaboration, Data and Systems Ownership

• Partner with Commercial & Product leaders to understand market trends, promotions, customer behavior and strategic initiatives affecting demand.
• Work with Finance to align operational demand with the financial forecast and budget cycles.
• Collaborate with Supply Chain and Manufacturing Operations to support capacity planning, inventory targets and global supply‑chain optimization initiatives.
• Own the demand planning workstream for all New Product Introductions, converting launch plans and sales volumes into operational forecasts and ramp‑up profiles.
• Collaborate with Product Management and Engineering on lifecycle transitions, providing data‑driven recommendations for phase‑out timing, safety stock drawdown, last‑time‑buy parameters and inventory reduction.
• Develop dashboards, KPIs and automated workflows to streamline global planning activities.
