The Demand Planner will build, own, and improve the forecast engine that converts performance and consumer signals into actionable demand and revenue plans. At Skylight, you’ll operate at the intersection of commercial, finance, and supply chain functions, aligning marketing and eCommerce metrics with inventory and operations across the wholesale channel.
What You'll Do
- Partner with Retail Sales, 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.
- Serve as the operations lead on retailer-specific planning calls.
- Develop and maintain the weekly bottom-up forecast model for the wholesale channel globally.
- Take market and operational indicators and translate them into SKU-level demand and revenue projections.
- Analyze weekly sales and inventory data across all retailers to highlight risks, opportunities, and make recommendations for adjustments.
- Track and ingest store counts, in-stock / out-of-stock rates, and sell-through rates.
- 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.
- Provide recommendations on possible solutions and allocations across the channels.
- 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.
What We're Looking For
- Can find the 1-2 things that actually drive outcomes or that will really make a difference for any given goal.
- Feel comfortable in ambiguity. You don’t need a roadmap handed to you—you’ll make one.
- Can both execute while designing repeatable processes that work in practice.
- Care deeply. You show up with curiosity, vulnerability, and good intent.
Team & Environment
- Think often about the thousands of smiles we are able to put on our customers’ faces each day.
- Work hard to expand our team and invent.
- Bring the magic of Skylight to millions of loved ones throughout the world.
