About the Role

When you spot a Double Trouble bar at the gym, on a shelf in Albert or in a drugstore — you'll know it got there because of you and your work. 

We are looking for a B2B Demand Planner to take ownership of demand planning across B2B, marketplace and export channels.

Your mission is to turn commercial plans into a reliable demand forecast that Supply chain can plan against. You will analyse demand, challenge assumptions, identify risks and act as the key link between B2B and Supply chain.

This is a hands-on, data-driven role for someone who enjoys working with numbers, communicating across teams and taking ownership of getting things resolved.

Responsibilities

• Own the demand forecast for B2B, marketplace and export channels.

• Collect and consolidate commercial inputs into a reliable and realistic demand plan.

• Input demand plan into system (+collaborating with BI team on system improvements)

• Ensure forecasts are provided on time and aligned with product lead times and planning horizons.

• Analyse forecasts against historical sales, trends, open orders and planned commercial activities.

• Challenge unusual demand changes and proactively resolve inconsistencies with B2B stakeholders.

• Act as the key link between B2B/Expansion and Supply chain, translating commercial plans into actionable demand.

• Coordinate demand for new listings, new customers and markets, promotions and one-off B2B orders.

• Track forecast accuracy and bias, analyse key deviations and propose corrective actions.

• Regularly communicate future demand outlook, changes and key risks to Supply and relevant stakeholders and S&OP meetings.

• Contribute to the continuous improvement and automation of forecasting processes, reporting and data management.

Requirements

• Minimum of 2 years of experience in demand planning

• Strong analytical and logical thinking with a genuine interest in working with data.

• Very good knowledge of Excel / Google Sheets.

• Active use of AI tools and an interest in automation and finding smarter ways to work with data.

• Ability to collaborate with BI/Tech teams on developing forecasting and planning tools.

• Ability to work with large datasets, identify patterns and recognise when the numbers don’t make sense (more than 1000 SKUs).

• Strong communication skills – confidence to ask questions, challenge assumptions and work with different stakeholders.

• Proactive mindset, ownership and independence – actively looking for solutions and driving topics through to completion.

• Czech language at a minimum C1 level

• Very good English for day-to-day international communication.

• Experience in demand planning, supply chain, FMCG or e-commerce is an advantage, but not a requirement.

KPI: how do we measure success

• Forecast Accuracy – accuracy of forecast vs. actual sales.

• Forecast Bias – systematic over- or under-forecasting.

• Forecast Timeliness – % of forecasts and changes provided within the required planning horizon.

• Unforecasted Demand – share of B2B orders/demand not included in the forecast.

• Forecast Coverage – % of relevant B2B, marketplace and export SKUs/customers covered by an up-to-date forecast.

• Forecast Process & Data Quality – quality of forecasting inputs and continuous improvement and automation of the process.
