Model Development:Model Development: Lead migration from Excel to governed dbt frameworks in Snowflake; collaborate with analytics engineers to build forecast models (time-series, causal), inventory policies (multi-echelon), and FVA diagnostics; develop demand sensing approaches of market data to improve FVA; maintain semantic layer with version control and clear documentation.
Data Integration & Quality: Own integrations with NetSuite, and Salesforce; partner with data engineering on ETL processes; establish data quality rules; monitor data health proactively and enforce quality standards and validation processes.
Scenario Planning & Analytics: Build and manage dbt sandbox for "what-if" analysis; run scenario planning for build-to-stock and adoptions; develop simulation capabilities for supply chain configurations and demand fluctuations; create dashboards for planning visibility.
Collaboration & Training:Train planners and establish certification for template/dbt usage; mentor colleagues on modeling and technology best practices; partner with Finance on working-capital targets; generate and review Pull Requests for production integration.
Process Standardization: Standardize master data needed for SIOP with Product Data Integrity; publish playbooks for call-downs and expedites; track adoption and compliance; ensure roadmap alignment with business objectives.
