Senior Manager, Customer Business Planning - CPG (Stamford)

A game-changing opportunity to create, build, and scale at a privately held global beverage company with iconic, category-leading brands and real runway ahead. Powerful ownership, a global strategic owner paired with a disciplined private equity investor, brings the intent and rigor to rule its categories. With significant investment underway in capabilities, systems, and talent, the timing is ideal to drive real value at the customer level. This is your chance to put your stamp on something bigger than the job, with impact you’ll see today and for years to come.

This role is 100% about elevating how the business shows up with its customers. It means transforming a legacy, transactional approach to customer and commercial planning into a modern, insight-driven partnership with sales leadership, and becoming the indispensable go-to resource rather than the historical gatekeeper.

If you’ve built your craft inside a scaled, branded CPG organization, sharpening your instincts in trade, pricing, and customer planning with major retailers, and you’re ready to bring that discipline to a platform where you’ll directly shape the outcome, this is your moment.

What you bring:

• CPG experience is a MUST
• Expertise built inside a scaled, branded consumer organization, with channel versatility
• Strong sales planning, pricing strategy, financial analysis, trade spend discipline, and customer value creation experience
• Hands-on data analysis experience with TPM, ERP, and syndicated POS data sources such as Circana/IRI and Power BI
• Consequential partner to sales and sales leadership
• The ability to bring the business story to life through data, not just report it
• Executive presence and polish, comfortable shaping the narrative in rooms with the largest national retail accounts
• Strong analytical and financial modeling capabilities
• Critical experience having built and scaled a function, team, or capability

This role calls for a strategic operator who leads with insight and drives impact, not someone content to administer a process or run the numbers. A consequential, build-and-transform opportunity for someone ready to make their mark.
