Day-to-day you’ll work closely with the sales team, input, manage, and analyse the demand forecast for key accounts to drive forecast accuracy against an agreed set of KPIs for key customer accounts. You’ll also identify root cause and corrective actions at SKU level to optimise inventory levels and to maximise sales opportunities.
