This is what you’ll actually do! As Group Demand Planner, you’ll take full ownership of the demand forecasting process across the FFG group. You’ll be the key point of contact for forecasting, developing statistical models, analysing data, and collaborating with commercial and operational teams to generate a single, aligned, and accurate demand plan. You’ll prepare forecasts at multiple aggregation levels—customer, category, product—and evaluate performance through regular tracking of accuracy and bias. You’ll analyse historical sales trends, identify demand drivers, and incorporate business intelligence such as promotional activity, seasonal patterns, and NPD impacts. A major part of your role will be leading the monthly demand review cycle within the S&OP process. You’ll work cross-functionally and establish strong relationships internally and externally to ensure demand assumptions are fully understood and agreed. You’ll also utilise our IBP software, Relex, ensuring data integrity and continually improving the planning process. You’ll build strong relationships across the business to understand future demand risks and opportunities, helping teams make informed decisions that support production efficiency, service levels, and commercial performance. Your success will be measured through forecast accuracy, bias management, S&OP process effectiveness, communication quality, and your ability to proactively identify improvements that drive value across the Group.
