If you’re obsessed with data, thrive in high-octane environments and want to make an impact across a multibillion-dollar global business… this is your shot.

We're looking for a Statistical Forecasting Manager (Demand Planning) to power smarter decisions, sharpen our forecasting engine, and fuel the S&OP process across our dynamic EMEA region.

The Role

As the Statistical Forecasting Manager, you’ll transform massive datasets into sharp, actionable insights that drive production, inventory, and distribution decisions across the region. You’ll own and optimise statistical forecasting models using SAP IBP, influence the S&OP cycle, and push the boundaries of analytics, automation, and scenario modelling.

This is a high-visibility, high-impact role at the centre of EMEA operations.

What You’ll Do

Forecasting & Analytics

• Build accurate, data-driven forecasts using SAP IBP, leveraging internal BI, distributor data, Nielsen and historical trends.
• Apply segmentation and tailored forecasting strategies to optimise planning accuracy.
• Monitor and improve forecast KPIs: accuracy %, bias %, and forecast value add (FVA).
• Use advanced statistical and analytical techniques to predict future demand patterns.

S&OP Enablement

• Generate and present detailed performance reports to support the S&OP demand cycle.
• Identify risks, gaps and opportunities influencing service levels, revenue projections, cost efficiency and inventory optimisation.

Data Quality & Automation

• Design and implement outlier detection frameworks using statistical algorithms.
• Lead regular data quality reviews, ensuring anomalies are identified, validated, corrected and logged.
• Partner with IT and global process owners to elevate dashboards, reporting, automation, and IBP capabilities.

Scenario & Trend Modelling

• Build simulations and scenario models to assess market shifts, strategic decisions, or unexpected events.
• Conduct decomposition of time series to isolate trend, seasonality, and irregularities.

What You Bring

• Degree in Statistics, Data Science, Economics, or similar.
• 5+ years in statistical modelling, demand forecasting, or advanced analytics.
• Strong hands-on experience with SAP IBP, Power BI, and Excel.
• Ability to translate complex data into compelling insight and influence senior stakeholders.
• Collaborative mindset with the confidence to challenge, question, and drive improvement.
• Strategic thinker with a passion for precision, performance, and continuous improvement.
