Job Description:

Demand Management Analyst- Saint Gobain Interior Solutions

Do you have a talent for turning complex demand forecasts into clear business insights? Are you skilled at extracting and analysing data to shape smarter, more accurate planning decisions?

You'll join our newly established Demand Management Function within the Customer Value Chain, playing a key role in shaping how we forecast, plan, and align demand with strategic goals. Working closely with the Head of Demand Management, you'll drive operational excellence and supply chain efficiency through smart analytics and market insight.

Central to our Integrated Tactical Planning (ITP) process, you'll lead monthly discussions with Sales and Supply Chain teams to refine forecasts, challenge assumptions, and evaluate the impact of demand drivers such as promotions, helping to optimise inventory, production planning, and working capital while ensuring customer satisfaction

Key Responsibilities:

• Extract and analyse data from SAP to support demand planning activities.
• Conduct trend analysis and assess cause-and-effect relationships to identify opportunities and risks.
• Validate the accuracy of data and forecasts, ensuring reliability in decision-making.
• Present complex data in a clear, concise, and professional format to stakeholders at all levels.
• Monitor demand patterns and assess their impact on the product portfolio.
• Support the implementation of demand management software, AI solutions, and planning systems.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate data into business-level insights and recommendations.

Requirements:

• Proven experience in demand planning, forecasting, or a related planning role.
• Strong proficiency in SAP and advanced data analysis skills.
• Excellent attention to detail with the ability to validate and ensure data accuracy.
• Confidence in working with complex datasets and presenting findings to senior stakeholders.
• Comfortable working in ambiguous environments and making sound decisions with incomplete information.
• Knowledge of demand management software and planning systems (experience with AI-driven solutions is an advantage).
• Industry experience in construction materials or related sectors (plaster, plasterboard) is desirable but not essential.

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• The opportunity to work in a key strategic role that influences business performance.
• A collaborative and supportive working environment.

If you have the analytical skills, planning expertise, and business acumen to make a measurable impact, we'd love to hear from you.
