Director Demand Planning

We’re partnering on a Confidential search for a Director of Demand Planning & Commercial Integration within a high-growth, food business.

This is not a traditional demand planning role!

This role sits at the center of the business—connecting Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Operations to build a single, aligned demand plan that reflects real market dynamics.

It’s a build-and-elevate mandate in a high-SKU, promotion-driven environment , where the ability to challenge assumptions and drive alignment is critical.

What you’ll own:

• End-to-end demand planning across multiple channels.
• Tight integration with Sales on customer-level forecasts, promotions, and trade activity.
• Leadership of the S&OP / IBP demand review process.
• Driving improvements in forecast accuracy, bias, and decision-making.
• Building structure, tools, and processes in an evolving organization.

Why this role stands out:

• Highly visible role with direct impact on commercial and operational decisions.
• Real opportunity to build and shape how planning is done.
• Fast-paced, growth-oriented environment backed by strong investment.
• True cross-functional leadership—not just a planning role.

What we’re looking for:

• Proven experience in demand planning within FMCG.
• Strong background in promotion-heavy, high-SKU environments.
• Experience leading S&OP / IBP processes.
• Ability to influence Sales and challenge assumptions constructively.
• A leader who balances analytics with execution.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, navigating complexity, and helping a business reach the next level.

If this sounds like you—or someone in your network—we would welcome the opportunity to review your application.
