Johnson & Johnson Vision is recruiting for a Senior Global Demand Planning Analyst, located in Jacksonville, FL or Limerick, Ireland.

The Senior Global Demand Planning Analyst is responsible for generating and maintaining statistical forecasts as well as ensuring forecast integrity across a portfolio of products and regions. This individual will use historical data, forecast accuracy metrics, and market insights to deliver a baseline forecast that supports data-based IBP decision-making and enables an accurate demand handover to Supply.

This individual will act as a center of excellence for global statistical forecasting, supporting change management initiatives with business partners, influencing regional forecast processes, and driving improvements in forecast maturity and accuracy.

Key Responsibilities:

Statistical Forecasting: Develop and maintain statistical baseline forecasts using the OMP planning tool. Analyze forecast exceptions and historical data to identify changes in demand trend, seasonality, and outliers impacting demand. Present the statistical forecast to Regional Demand Planners, providing recommendations and highlighting risks and opportunities in relation to business goals. Regional Demand Planners will align the statistical baseline with Commercial intelligence through Event forecast inputs.

Data Analysis, Reporting, and Validations: Use OMP, Tableau reporting, PowerBI, and Excel tools to collect, analyze, and interpret large sets of data to identify patterns, trends, and insights that inform demand planning strategies. Conduct analysis and reporting on metrics such as MAPE, Bias, and FVA, clearly communicating results and rationale to business partners at all levels. Collaborate with Process Excellence and Data teams to ensure data integrity and automation of forecasting processes and validations. Monitor the flow of the forecast through the OMP system, ensuring that exceptions are captured and corrective action is taken. Develop a culture of accountability around maintaining key planning data attributes, and address business problems with an end-to-end mentality.

Collaboration, Training, and Support: Work closely with Regional Demand partners to gather market insights (promotional activity, price changes, external market trends, etc.), ensuring that the OMP statistical forecast accurately interprets historical data. Understand key drivers of month-to-month changes, significant trends, upcoming events, and lifecycle changes (NPIs, discontinuation). Provide training and support to cross-functional partners through workshops or resources to support adoption of statistical tools and processes related to demand planning.

Skills and Capabilities:

• Experienced individual contributor who works independently with minimal supervision
• Familiar with IBP or S&OP processes
• Clear communication of concepts and insights, clarifying the complex and developing a compelling narrative to inform and influence others (including senior leaders)
• Ability to build strong collaborative relationships
• Project and/or change management & personal leadership
• Process improvement mentality with experience creating, leading, and shepherding execution of innovative solutions
• Data analysis and data manipulation
• Strong decision-making ability, applying business knowledge to drive outcomes in a multiple-scenario environment
