While a supply planner will ensure a company has adequate inventory to supply to customers, a supply chain demand planner focuses on ensuring a company has a customer base and explores how to increase the customer base. You will be in charge of creating relationships with potential customers, including retailers and online marketplaces. You will work closely with supply planners to ensure the company’s goods get to the customers. You will make forecasts of demand needs, and like the supply planners, you will constantly interrogate the system to look for places to maximize efficiency.
To thrive in this position, you will need strong communication skills, and an acute knowledge of the industry you are working in and the demand and sales trends of the goods your company is selling. Project management skills are also essential. This resume succeeds in highlighting all of the above.
