Position Summary: The Demand Planner is responsible for creating a reliable, data‑driven demand signal that enables the business to balance service, inventory, and working capital—especially in an OEM/VMI environment with erratic and project‑based usage. This role sits at the intersection of Sales/Account Management, Purchasing, Commodity Management, and Operations. The Demand Planner owns the forecast, the assumptions behind it, and the process discipline that turns noise into an actionable plan. This role does not own customer relationships or place purchase orders. The Demand Planner interacts with cross-functional teams and will need to be confident to drive decisions and challenge input without direct leadership oversight of those individuals. The teams will include Account Management, Sales, Sourcing, Finance and Leadership.
