About the role

Our client is a fast-growing global manufacturer serving the agriculture, construction and industrial equipment markets. They’re hiring an Aftermarket Demand Planner to own the aftermarket forecast end to end. That covers demand, supply balance, inventory and market trends.

This is an analytical, data-heavy role with mostly internal collaboration. You’ll be trusted to run your own business, and promotion comes from within.

What you’ll do

• Build and own SKU-level demand forecasts for the aftermarket business, and track forecast accuracy.
• Adjust forecasts for market trends, seasonality and product changes.
• Balance demand against supply constraints alongside Supply Planning.
• Own inventory outcomes: excess, slow-moving stock, stockouts and safety stock.
• Analyze large datasets in Excel and turn findings into clear actions.
• Support S&OP and communicate forecast changes and risks to internal stakeholders.

What you’ll bring

• 3–5 years in demand planning or forecast analysis, with building and owning the forecast as your primary responsibility.
• Expert Excel on large datasets (pivots, XLOOKUP/VLOOKUP, consolidation).
• Hands-on inventory management experience.
• Supply planning knowledge paired with demand planning.
• Ability to work independently and own the forecast within 30–60 days.
• Plus: aftermarket, replacement parts or distribution experience; a tire or manufacturing background; or APICS/ASCM certification.

Details

• Hybrid: in office Tue–Thu, with more in-office time during onboarding.
• Flexible hours (7–4, 8–5 or 9–6) and ~40 hours a week.
• Several early-morning calls a week with the global manufacturing team.
• Benefits: medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match, PTO, paid holidays, disability, life insurance and professional development.
• Strong internal promotion culture.
