    Analyze forecast accuracy, bias, value-add, volatility, and stability; diagnose forecast variances and implement corrective actions.
    Manage DFUs, forecast exceptions, and product lifecycle events, including new product introductions, phase-ins, phase-outs, and discontinuations.
    Challenge forecast assumptions using data and analytics to ensure accurate, unbiased demand plans and prioritize high-impact opportunities through exception-based planning.
    Lead and facilitate IBP demand consensus discussions and align Sales, Category Management, Finance, and Supply Chain to a single forecast.
    Document forecast assumptions, decisions, risks, and opportunities, including volume and revenue impacts.
    Provide analysis, recommendations, and insights to support business and planning decisions.
    Evaluate the impact of planning assumptions on supply execution and escalate potential risks as needed.
    Collaborate with Supply Planning to communicate forecast changes and downstream business impacts.
    Incorporate promotions, events, product launches, discontinuations, market trends, and customer ordering patterns into forecast assumptions.
    Utilize external market data and competitive intelligence to inform forecasts and assess market dynamics.
    Translate commercial strategies into quantified demand impacts and support scenario planning for risks and opportunities.
    Leverage planning, reporting, and business intelligence tools to generate forecasts, analyses, and actionable insights.
    Identify, investigate, and escalate data quality issues that negatively impact forecast performance.
    Build strong cross-functional relationships, align stakeholders on demand drivers and tradeoffs, and translate complex data into clear, actionable business insights.
