Demand Planner

We’re Beauty Pie. We’re the world’s first luxury beauty and wellness buyers’ club. And we’re disrupting the beauty industry, one face cream at a time. 

Before we arrived on the scene, if you wanted really great beauty products, you had to shop at traditional beauty retail - and overpay for all the crazy markups. Now, our members have access to shop from the best-quality beauty and wellness products (from the leading labs in France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Japan, Korea, etc) and get a bigger piece of the Beauty Pie. 

So, what will you be doing?

• Assist in managing a diverse SKU portfolio, including new product developments (NPD) and existing product developments (EPD).
• Convert member and customer data into regional (UK & US) SKU forecasts using Anaplan.
• Ensure accuracy of demand forecasts in reflecting known market activities, product launch timings and initiatives by building key relationships with Finance, NPD, Growth and Marketing teams.
• Work with NPD teams to develop launch forecasts, considering expected demand and potential cannibalization of existing products and share insights as part of the Commercial Sign off process.
• Support Line Manager in in assessing the impact of promotional activity on demand forecasts and sharing insights with Finance, NPD, Supply and Marketing teams
• Support our monthly business planning (IBP) S&OP process in partnership with Line manager, ensuring consensus across commercial teams while accounting for risks and supply constraints

• Help track forecast accuracy and bias, ensuring accountability across teams and driving continuous improvement
• Work with Supply Planning to align inventory and service level targets including quarterly update of ABCD Sales ranking
• Assist in identifying slow-moving or obsolete stock and work with Line Manager to reflect clearance plans in demand forecasts
