Job Description
Senior Demand Planner
Skylight
**What You’ll Own** In this role you’ll help build, own, and improve the forecast engine that turns performance signals (traffic, impressions, conversion rates, in-stock levels, store counts, sell-through) and consumer signals (macroeconomic trends and our own customer behavior) into actionable demand and revenue plans. You’ll live at the intersection of commercial, finance, and supply chain — translating marketing and eCommerce metrics into channel-level forecasts and aligning those forecasts with inventory and operations readiness across DTC, Amazon and wholesale. **Responsibilities:** - Partner with Marketing, eCommerce, Commercial, Finance, and Supply Chain teams to align assumptions (e.g. product launches, promotional activity, channel shifts) and translate those into forecast inputs. - Lead the consolidated cross-channel forecast and guide strategic decisions within each channel forecast. - Develop and maintain the bottom-up forecast model for DTC and Amazon globally. - Take market and operational indicators and translate them into SKU-level demand and revenue projections. - eCommerce (Amazon and DTC): Analyze historical and marketing data to forecast demand. - Develop and execute assortment and promotional strategies based on current run rate performance. - Support the monthly & quarterly forecast cadence: prepare and present forecast vs. actual analyses, identify risks and upside opportunities, document assumptions and scenarios. - Work hand in hand with Operations Planning and Supply Chain to ensure forecasts translate into inventory, procurement and replenishment plans. - Continuously improve forecasting processes, tools, and metrics: bring data, automation, visualization, scenario planning and best practices into the model so we get smarter and faster. - Be a trusted business partner: take your forecast insights, highlight where things are deviating, help steer decisions on marketing spend, inventory investment, channel shifts and product launches.
Job Requirements
- Must-Haves**
- 6-9 years of experience in demand planning, revenue forecasting, analytics or similar for physical products, ideally in an omnichannel company.
- Strong experience blending digital performance metrics (traffic, impressions, conversion) and DTC/eCommerce channel analytics (including Amazon) into forecast models.
- Excellent technical skills: advanced Excel or Google Sheets, scenario modelling, ability to build and maintain forecast tools.
- A track record of partnering cross-functionally (Commercial, Marketing, Finance, Operations) and translating forecasts into business-impact actions.
- Excellent communication skills: ability to tell the story behind the numbers, present to leadership, and influence decision-making.
- Bachelor’s degree in Operations, Supply Chain, Finance, Economics, Analytics or similar.
- Entrepreneurial mindset: comfortable in a fast-moving environment, able to deal with ambiguity, take ownership, and continuously improve.
