THE ROLE
As the SAP Plan-to-Forecast Lead, you will serve as the functional business owner driving Everpure’s global demand forecasting and Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) capabilities. Operating at an individual contributor level, you will bridge market intelligence, commercial strategies, and operational execution on the Everpure Platform.

Architect SAP IBP Forecasting Frameworks: Define and optimize the statistical forecasting framework within SAP IBP Demand Planning, selecting statistical models, establishing error measurement standards (MAPE, WMAPE, bias), and leading exception-based review strategies.
Integrate Cross-Functional Market Signals: Coordinate across Sales, Marketing, Product, and Finance teams to incorporate new product introductions, promotional events, phase-outs, and revenue targets into baseline demand forecasts.
Govern Demand Master Data & KPIs: Own the business definition and integrity of demand planning master data within SAP IBP while driving root-cause analysis on forecast misses to improve plan attainment and reduce demand variability.
Partner for System Enhancements: Collaborate with IT and SAP IBP technical teams to define business requirements for system configurations, planning operators, data integrations, and continuous process enhancements.
WHAT YOU BRING
Advanced Demand Planning & SAP IBP Expertise: Extensive functional experience owning end-to-end demand forecasting processes and S&OP cycles utilizing SAP IBP Demand Planning or SAP APO DP, including proficiency with the SAP IBP Excel Add-in and Fiori planning views.
Statistical Modeling & Analysis Savvy: Deep knowledge of statistical forecasting methods, demand segmentation strategies (ABC/XYZ classification), and downstream integration into supply planning and finance.
Cross-Functional Stakeholder Influence: Proven track record of evaluating variable business factors, facilitating alignment across commercial and operational teams, and communicating complex forecast assumptions to executive leadership without damaging relationships.
Process Improvement Mindset: Demonstrated success resolving complex planning challenges, establishing forecasting standards, and driving continuous improvement in forecast accuracy metrics.
