What you do here
Demand Planner GTR-DIS is responsible for the integrated and aligned volume planning for the allocated sales markets.
The holder of the position acts as one of the central links in the S&OP Process and in collaboration with the sales team, will develop an integrated demand plan. Following this, there will be a fine-tuning session with finance and supply where an aligned rolling forecast will be set.
