With a focus on season planning and responsibility for our global monthly planning process, you’ll ensure market sales plans are feasible within our seasonal supply constraints. You'll also play a crucial role supporting in-season tactical planning and execution, as well as supporting continuous improvement and excellence in demand planning at Zespri.
As the bridge between market planning teams (representing the Demand side of our business) and our supply/operations teams in NZ and ZGS (non-NZ supply), you'll ensure seamless coordination and alignment of plans within SAP IBP throughout the season.

- Ensures clear alignment between markets and supply teams on annual special programs, non-standard supply procurement, and trial volumes.
- Manages formal monthly plan release communications to the executive team.
- Ensures global SAP IBP plans are maintained by relevant teams on an ongoing basis, driving corrective actions across global teams as needed.
- Resolves market access and inventory issues between markets and supply teams.
- Provides input into weekly tactical IBP meetings with markets and supply operations teams.
- Executes market prioritisation decisions and oversees management of early season ordering when supply constrained especially at season start.
- Manages season data in SAP IBP for completeness and reconciliation at season-end, ensuring alignment and accuracy for reporting and finance.
- Identifying and contributing to continuous improvement initiatives in planning and demand servicing arenas aligned with our Global IBP centre of excellence initiatives.

You will have a results-driven mindset with a focus on quality and meeting customer requirements. You will also meet the following selection criteria:
- Possession of tertiary qualifications in Finance, Business, or a related field.
- Professional certifications in demand forecasting, S&OP, or Integrated Business Planning are highly valued.
