Sesh Products, Inc. is a fast-growing Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) company revolutionizing the nicotine industry with premium, high-quality, and less harmful alternatives. With operations in Canada and the U.S., we offer an entrepreneurial environment where driven individuals can make a significant impact and grow with the company.
Position Overview:
We are seeking a skilled and proactive Demand Planner with experience in both mature and growth-stage environments. This role is critical for developing accurate, logic-driven demand forecasts and ensuring optimized inventory management across our regulated product portfolio. You'll have the opportunity to shape our supply chain processes while playing a hands-on role in scaling our high-growth startup.
This position requires a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and understands the complexities of channel dynamics (manufacturer ? distributor ? retailer ? consumer).
Key Responsibilities:
Build and maintain complex demand planning models, primarily in Excel, to forecast product needs for U.S. and Canadian markets.
Collaborate across supply chain, production, marketing, and sales teams to align supply plans with forecasted demand.
Proactively monitor inventory levels to avoid stockouts or overstock situations, adjusting plans as needed.
Lead monthly demand and supply planning meetings, driving alignment and execution on priorities.
Contribute insights to production scheduling, promotional planning, and new product launches in a regulated environment.
Refine and optimize forecasting processes, leveraging logic-driven models rather than off-the-shelf statistical tools.
Ideal Candidate:
Experience: 3-5 years of demand planning experience in CPG or similar industries (e.g., consumer electronics, medical devices, manufactured consumer products with distribution and retail focus).
Skillset: Strong Excel modeling capabilities and an understanding of channel dynamics. Familiarity with sell-through data and geographic distribution challenges is a plus.
Adaptability: A mix of experience in both startup or growth-product environments and mature organizations.
Approach: A doer with a hands-on mindset who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial setting and avoids a "push-a-button" approach to forecasting.
Education: Bachelor's degree in a related field.
Extra Credit: Experience with regulated products or a proven ability to scale planning processes in a high-growth environment.
Compensation & Benefits:
Salary: Competitive, based on experience $110,000k+ range.
Equity Component: Employee Stock Options to share in our success as we scale.
Benefits: Comprehensive healthcare, FTO, flexible work arrangements, and significant career growth opportunities.
