Job Summary:

The Demand Planner owns the demand forecast for Jeeter's product portfolio and facilitates the monthly Demand Review within our Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP / Integrated Business Planning) cycle. You will convert history, sell-through, promotions, seasonality, and new-product plans into a reliable, consensus-based demand plan - the single number that drives supply, inventory, replenishment, and procurement decisions. This is a highly cross-functional, analytical role for someone equally comfortable with the data and in the room building alignment across Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Operations.

Duties/Responsibilities:

• Own the demand forecast - a rolling statistical baseline forecast at multiple levels of aggregation (SKU, brand, category, channel, region), then enrich it with market intelligence, promotions, and new-product plans to produce the consensus demand plan.
• Facilitate the S&OP & S&OE Process - the monthly S&OP Process, aligning Sales, Marketing, Manufacturing, Supply Planning and Finance on one plan; present forecasts, metrics, KPIs, gaps, opportunities, and month-over-month changes, and document assumptions, risks, and decisions.
• Plan demand across channels - across both retail/dispensary and wholesale, aligning dispensary-level inventory needs with wholesale partner sell-through and sales projections across product categories.
• Analyze shipment history, retail sell-through/POS, and inventory positions to surface trends, anomalies, and demand drivers; recommend forecast adjustments with clear, data-backed rationale.
• Feed downstream planning - a clean, trusted demand handoff to Supply & Inventory and Procurement planning so replenishment, weeks-of-hand, safety stock, and forward-buy decisions are built on a single number.
• Measure and improve accuracy - forecast accuracy and bias (MAPE, WMAPE MAD, forecast error) by SKU, category, channel, and region; run root-cause analysis on bias and exception alerts, and drive continuous improvement in forecast quality.
• Manage lifecycle events - new product introductions, transitions, and discontinuations within the forecast - coordinating launch quantities and phase-in/phase-out timing and tracking the performance of new items post-launch.
• Maintain planning data & tools - demand data across our systems - Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Salesforce, Excel Tools, and Power BI - and help strengthen the planning data foundation, tools, and reporting.
• Report and communicate - recurring demand reporting and ad-hoc analyses for planning leadership and cross-functional partners, influencing decisions without direct authority.

Required Skills/Abilities:

• Strong mathematical and statistical knowledge.
• Self-driven and highly motivated with strong attention to accuracy and details.
• Capability to multitask in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability to work effectively within a team and build positive relationships cross-functionally.
• Highly proficient in Microsoft Excel (sumifs, vlookups, xlookups, sumifs, pivot tables, etc.).

Preferred

• CPG/Other high-velocity consumer-goods experience.
• Experience in cannabis or another regulated, multi-state industry, including retail and wholesale channels.
• APICS/ASCM certification (CPIM or CSCP) or progress toward it.
• Experience within a formal S&OP / Integrated Business Planning process.

Education and Experience:

• 4+ years of experience in demand, merchandise, or inventory planning required.
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education and related experience.

Physical Requirements:

• Ability to lift and carry heavy objects up to 75 pounds.
• Comfortable working environments with exposure to noise, dust, heat, cold and other industrial elements.
• Ability to work in a warehouse environment with variable temperatures and humidity levels.
• Willingness to work flexible hours and occasional overtime as needed, including weekends, public holidays, and evenings.
• Must be able to stand, walk, bend over, and pick up items and have constant movement for the duration of the shift.
• Must be able to lift, push, kneel, and pick up items, both small and large.
• Capability to operate heavy machinery such as pallet jacks and forklifts safely and efficiently.

Work Schedule (Exempt):
