As a consultant in Planning Services you are responsible for the implementation and regular execution of statistical forecast generation, inventory parameter optimization and/or complex dashboard creation & improvement for several large multinational customers.
In this role you serve as an integral part of our customer’s integrated business planning (IBP) cycle, providing them with timely deliverables and intelligent insights on a recurring basis, generated from their latest historical sales data and other driver-based data sources.
Your role as a junior consultant in Planning Services
In your every day work you will be applying your analytical skills and mathematical expertise to consistently deliver outstanding results on a recurrent basis to our expanding portfolio of international customers. When we embark on a new planning service for a customer, you participate in an eight week build phase to create a customer-specific data flow using our proprietary data science platform.
After the implementation project concludes you assume responsibility for the recurring service deliverables each week, month or quarter, as appropriate. You commit to steadily improving the forecasting & planning processes and the customer-specific data flow, by combining your customer and technical knowledge to apply quantitative models in a smart way.
A key indicator for success in this role is steady performance improvement and high customer satisfaction. If you are a person who loves to build a lasting customer relationship and gain deep understanding of a customer’s business and industry dynamics, then you will be in your element running a service.
If you get energized by taking initiative, driving continuous improvement, and using your data science and industry insights to help grow your customer’s business, then the role of consultant at Planning Services will give you opportunity and a platform to shine.
At EyeOn you will get to work with the latest innovations, techniques, solutions, and insights in the field of planning and forecasting. As believers in the future where data is the core and most decisions are made by machines, we are constantly developing ourselves and the techniques and methods we work with. We challenge you to do the same.
