Job Description
About The Role
At Tentang Anak, we move super fast because we work for the needs of 80 million Indonesian children & families that can’t wait. We seek people who are hungry to solve problems, accountable, and bring speed in everything they do.
Tentang Anak is on a mission to help 80 million children in Indonesia grow up healthier, happier, and better supported. We do this by building trusted products across multiple categories, from nutrition and skincare to children's intellectual property (books, play kits, educational tools, and more).
We’re looking for a Demand Planning to play a pivotal role in our Supply Chain team by owning demand forecasting, inventory planning, and cross-functional alignment. This role will ensure Tentang Anak maintains optimal inventory levels, supports fast business growth, and minimizes operational risks across our product categories.
If you're passionate about turning data into actionable insights, working cross-functionally, and building scalable forecasting systems in a fast‑moving environment, this role is for you.
What You’ll Own:
Demand Forecasting & Planning
Lead the development, maintenance, and continuous improvement of demand forecasting models using historical data, market trends, and business inputs to support accurate planning decisions.
Cross‑Functional Demand Alignment
- Coordinate the monthly forecast cycle and biweekly S&OP (Sales & Operations Planning) by facilitating demand alignment meetings with relevant functions
- Review and validate commercial team building block inputs (ads, live shopping, affiliate, KOL for online; new outlet pipeline, consumer promo, visibility/loyalty programs) — challenge assumptions when growth is too high/low vs. historical trend
Inventory Optimization & Supply Balance
- Monitor inventory levels and translate the aligned forecast into supply planning inputs
- Monitor offline channel sell-in projection using distributor inventory target per SKU
Demand Analytics & Business Insights
- Conduct daily demand monitoring: identify which SKUs are overperforming or underperforming, spot abnormal channel behaviour, and determine whether variances are temporary or structural.
- Perform layered “why” analysis for top forecast errors — identify the top error SKU up to channel source (online vs. offline) level
Reporting & Stakeholder Communication
- Prepare and present the biweekly S&OP demand review: explain what is triggering demand movement, and what is expected next
- Produce management BR (Business Review) pre-read: summarise demand highlights, forecast projection, and key risks ahead of the BR session
- Maintain and publish the monthly Forecast Accuracy Scorecard by channel, brand, and SKU; communicate top misses and root
Forecasting Process Improvement
- Identify recurring causes of forecast error and propose process or assumption improvements to reduce bias over time
- Contribute to improving the statistical forecasting model by reviewing anomaly removal logic and refining baseline calculation methods
- Develop scalable forecasting templates and documentation that support the team as the product portfolio grows
What Success Looks Like:
In your first 3–6 months:
- Master monthly forecast cycle and daily demand monitoring
- Host S&OP presentation and actively contribute to management Business Review (BR)
- Improve forecast accuracy across key product categories (lag-3 months)
In your first 6–12 months:
• Reduce stock‑out and overstock situations through proactive planning
• Build structured demand planning cadence with cross‑functional teams
• Deliver clear demand visibility for Supply Chain and Business teams
• Develop scalable forecasting models that support rapid business growth
