Demand Planner

For Seco Tools and our Sales and Operations Planning department in Fagersta we’re now looking for an analytical, networking and forward-thinking Demand Planner to our Supply Chain organization. Do you want to be part of an exciting transformation journey, where development, communication and teamwork are key elements? Then we’re happy to offer you this great opportunity to influence our demand planning process.

Seco Tools is a worldwide leading supplier of metal cutting solutions for a diverse mix of customers throughout many various segments and industries. Our tools help build planes, trains, automobiles, and everything else around us. Your phone case? The molds are cut and created by our tools. The lenses in the glasses you wear? Cut by our tools. The golf balls you use? Our tools are in the machines that cut the dimples. Your grandma’s knee replacement? You guessed it - our tools cut and shape that metal. It’s what we do, we’re good at it and proud of it! We make a difference in people’s lives, but we’re not arrogant enough to rest on our laurels or think we have it all figured out. We’re constantly aiming higher, and now we want you to join the many brilliant minds of our Seco family.

About the job
As Demand Planner, your primary responsibility is to predict and develop a demand forecast by understanding our customers demand signals and align them with our supply chain. You look at current and future metrics, evaluate different patterns and scenarios, specify tactics and identify and resolve forecast variances. You also closely interact with sales, marketing and operations to understand and interpret how market trends and demand drivers could impact our distribution flows.

By making sure that we have accurate information and reliable data, you identify opportunities to improve our operational efficiency and support decision-making regarding our demand plans. You’re an important part of our Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) process, where you initiate new ways of working with systems, processes and documentation, as well as contribute with your expertise in different cross-functional projects.

The location for this job is at our headquarters in Fagersta, and some planned travel is normally included.

About you
We’re looking for a logistics professional with hands-on experience from supply and demand, combined with the theoretical and methodological knowledge from a relevant degree. You have previously been working with forecasting of distribution flows connected to sales, marketing operations, finance and manufacturing. You’re a skilled Office 365 user, and experience of other business systems in this line of work comes in handy. We also value your knowledge of analysis, simulations and modeling tools. Since we act in a global setting, you need to be fluent in English, while skills in Swedish are beneficial.

As a person, you’re truly analytical with a statistical approach, high attention to details and the ability to generate business value from metrics, patterns and behaviors. You’re also an appreciated team player – very skilled at collaborating and connecting with people, and you know how to easily communicate information to a broad audience. Add a passion for development and improvements, and you’re the perfect match for this position!
