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. - We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the Santa Clara, CA office in compliance with Everpure's policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave. ### 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.
