Forecasting is at the core of our commercial operation. Forecasting tools help to determine how much of each product to buy, to recommend the best prices for these products, and to ensure that we have the right level of logistics capacity to fulfil customer demand.
As a Head of Product or Forecasting, you will be responsible for identifying and prioritising business opportunities to be addressed through the next generation of Forecasting tools. To do this, you will develop a deep understanding of our business challenges. You will work very closely with our commercial teams, including Merchandising, Markets and Operations. Using your knowledge of the commercial operation, you will evaluate the value of these opportunities, assess trade-offs and create a product roadmap. Combining your commercial insights with an understanding of data science, you will work closely with the engineering teams to implement this roadmap. In an agile development process, you will assess what has been built, collect feedback from the Commercial teams, solve roadblocks and regularly re-prioritise development.
As the key interface between the Commercial and Engineering teams, your decisions will have a huge impact on the overall value generated by the Forecasting team.
