- Partner with the SIOP & S&OE / Demand Planning Leader to translate model outputs into practical planning actions.
- Support segmentation logic by product family, line of business, customer, region, volume, volatility, and service impact.
- Collaborate with IT/data teams to define source-data requirements, governed datasets, data quality checks, and refresh logic.
- Validate model performance, document assumptions, monitor drift, and improve model reliability over time.
- Convert complex analytical findings into clear explanations for planners, materials managers, OFRs, and leadership.
- Support process improvements that reduce manual reporting, improve decision speed, and strengthen demand planning standard work.
- Maintain documentation for models, metrics, data definitions, and user guidance.

- Strong skills in data analysis, data modeling, visualization, and communicating complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences.
- Proficiency with analytics and data tools such as on Python, SQL, Power BI, or similar platforms used to generate business insights.
- Understanding of demand planning, forecasting, supply chain operations, or related business processes where analytics support planning decisions.
- Demonstrated ability to influence across teams, solve problems collaboratively, and embody the Danfoss behaviors through inclusive leadership and continuous improvement.
