Global Demand Planner

Do you have a passion for turning demand into executable plans and driving clarity across a complex, global organization? Do you constantly question “why” to build smarter, more resilient planning processes? Do you thrive in high-growth environments where customer needs, operational capacity, and data-driven decision-making must align?

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.

As part of Avire’s global operations team, you will enable scalable growth by continuously strengthening planning governance and digital enablement in Microsoft Dynamics 365. If you’re energized by cross-functional leadership, operational excellence, and putting the end customer at the center of every decision, this is your opportunity to make a real impact.

The Global Demand Planner is responsible for the end-to-end demand planning, forecast accuracy, and planning governance across all commercial regions. This role leads the global & regional S&OE (Sales & Operations Execution) and S&OP (Sales & Operations Planning) cycles, ensuring robust demand signals in Microsoft Dynamics 365. The Global Demand Planner partners closely with Commercial Regions, Finance, Supply Planning, Product Management, R&D and Manufacturing Operations.

• Develops and continuously improves statistical forecasts, incorporating inputs for commercial intelligence, lifecycle status, and known market events.
• Consolidates regional and intercompany demand inputs, translates them into a global demand signal for supply planning and executive review.
• Monitors and reports 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 customer and Inter-company OTIF (On-Time In-Full) 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.

• 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, taking the Product Management launch plan and estimated sales volumes, converting them into an operational forecast and ramp-up profile to ensure capacity, materials, and inventory are aligned for a smooth and timely market release.
• 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 actions to minimize excess/obsolete inventory risk.
• Develop dashboards, KPIs, and automated workflows to streamline global planning activities.
