This is not a pure Demand Planner role and also not a pure Data Modeler role. The client is looking for someone who sits between supply chain planning and analytics.
In practical terms:
- You’ll be hands-on with Demand Planning concepts (forecasting, scenarios, KPIs), using tools like Kinaxis
- You’ll also work with planning data from ERP/Kinaxis, helping structure it for analytics and reporting (SQL, data models, KPIs, BI)
- This is not heavy ETL engineering, and not a Kinaxis configuration-only role
- The focus is on understanding planning logic and translating it into analytical data structures
That’s why candidates with both planning exposure and analytics experience are being prioritized.
Role: Demand Planning Analyst / Data Modeler (Kinaxis, ERP)
Location: REMOTE (PST)
Experience: 10+ Years
Type: Contract
Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced Demand Planning professional with a strong data modeling background to support enterprise supply chain planning initiatives. The ideal candidate will bring hands-on experience in Demand Planning, Kinaxis RapidResponse, ERP-sourced planning data, and analytical data modeling to enable accurate forecasting, scenario analysis, and decision support. This role is suited for someone who can bridge supply chain planning processes and analytics/data architecture, working closely with business and technical stakeholders in a remote, collaborative environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Support and enhance Demand Planning processes using Kinaxis RapidResponse
- Develop and maintain demand forecasting models, scenarios, and exception-based analysis
- Translate demand planning and supply chain processes into analytical data models (facts & dimensions)
- Design and maintain data structures supporting forecast accuracy, bias, service levels, and KPIs
- Integrate and analyze ERP-sourced planning data (Oracle, SAP, or similar)
- Collaborate with supply chain, IT, and analytics teams to ensure data accuracy and consistency
- Support S&OP / IBP processes with data-driven insights and reporting
- Build and optimize dashboards and reports for demand planning stakeholders
- Identify data gaps, anomalies, and improvement opportunities in planning data
Mandatory Qualifications (Non-Negotiable)
Candidates must have all of the following:
- 10+ years of experience in Supply Chain / Demand Planning
- Hands-on experience with Kinaxis RapidResponse
- Experience working with ERP planning data (Oracle, SAP, JDE, etc.)
- Strong background in data modeling for planning & analytics (fact & dimension models)
- Solid understanding of demand forecasting concepts and inventory impacts
- Experience in manufacturing or high-tech supply chain environments
- Strong SQL skills and experience working with analytical datasets
- Ability to work remotely and collaborate across teams
Preferred / Nice-to-Have
- Experience with S&OP / Integrated Business Planning (IBP)
- Familiarity with forecast accuracy metrics (MAPE, MAD, Bias)
- Experience with Snowflake or cloud data platforms
- Exposure to BI tools (Power BI, Tableau)
- Experience supporting global or multi-site planning organizations
❌ NOT A FIT IF THE CANDIDATE IS:
- You are a pure Kinaxis functional/configuration consultant with no data modeling experience
- You are a pure data engineer with no supply chain planning background
- You have only worked in ERP functional roles without analytics or planning exposure
