Full Job Description

Key responsibilities
  • Translate the DS forecast into an ops-usable plan. Rebuild DS output at the client injection-facility day level, apply adjustments DS cant see, and publish a single planning number. Metric: forecast accuracy vs. raw DS baseline.
  • Layer in client events DS doesnt see. Maintain a live calendar of client sales, promos, launches, and known volume pulls. Work with Client Services and Account Management so events land in the plan before they hit the network. Metric: % of events captured 24 hours before impact.
  • Own the daily variance review. Review forecast vs. actual at planning grain daily, tag root cause (DS model miss, missed client event, facility execution, data issue, real demand surprise), and feed learnings back to DS and into the next plan. Metric: daily completion; trend in tagged miss categories week over week.
  • Be the named owner of the planning number. Defend it to Ground Ops, Transpo, and leadership; adjust it when new information justifies it. Metric: % of operations plans (labor + trucks) aligned to the central planning forecast.
  • Operate inside Volume Radar. Build the internal planning dashboard daily, read forecast-vs.-real-time signals, and escalate hot facilities with context. Provide structured feedback to engineering on tool improvements. Metric: time-to-escalation; quality of product feedback.
