Thank you very much for considering Grupo DEACERO to begin or continue your professional career! Orchestrate the Demand Planning process (S&OP / IBP) for the Steel Business Unit, with cross-functional scope covering capacity and constraint allocation design and management. The mission of this role is to integrate market intelligence, economic projections, commercial plans, and statistical forecasting to generate a single, consensus-based demand plan—serving as the foundation for financial planning, productive capacity allocation, and improved inventory management. This position acts as the central hub ensuring strategic alignment among Commercial, Finance, Operations, and Steel Mill functions, facilitating critical decision-making on scarce resource management and working capital optimization at the corporate level. Key Responsibilities: * Strategically Optimize Demand Planning: Shift focus from simple forecast accuracy (MAPE) toward optimizing working capital and service levels. Lead initiatives to align plan disaggregation with inventory policies and logistical nodes, and connect demand collaboration with production cycles to maximize supply chain efficiency. * Drive Forecasting Process Evolution and Automation: Manage the statistical forecasting engine, implementing enhancements and automating accuracy reporting—so human collaboration effort focuses exclusively on areas of highest uncertainty or impact, while highly reliable automated recommendations flow without intervention. * Lead Corporate-Level Capacity Allocation Process: Orchestrate and moderate the monthly cross-organizational forum for capacity, constraint, and surplus allocation. Negotiate with Steel Mill, Finance, and Commercial leaders to balance competing interests and reach decisions that optimize overall business performance—operating within a high-pressure environment with demanding stakeholders. * Integrate Market Intelligence and Economic Analysis: Analyze the impact of macroeconomic and sector-specific variables on demand. Translate these insights into strategic adjustments to the demand plan, delivering forward-looking perspectives that go beyond historical analysis. * Manage the monthly, quarterly, and annual sales planning processes—including the annual budgeting (business plan) cycle. * Coordinate the analytics-driven commercial collaboration challenge process, aligned with business objectives and macroeconomic indicators. Challenges of the Role: * Analytical Complexity: Integrate highly diverse information sources (sales data, statistical models, economic forecasts, qualitative market intelligence) into a single, coherent, and defensible demand plan. * High-Level Stakeholder Management: Balance often-conflicting priorities across Steel Mill (production efficiency), Commercial (sales opportunities), and Finance (profitability) to reach consensus that maximizes enterprise-wide value. * Influential Leadership: Lead a business-critical process impacting the entire organization—exerting influence over directors and managers across other functions without formal authority over them. Job Requirements: * Professional Field of Study: Industrial Engineering, Business Administration, Actuarial Science, Statistics. * Required Knowledge: Demand Planning, Forecasting, Big Data Analytics, Supply Chain, Information Analysis. * Tools: Oracle, Demand Planning, Looker / Power BI. * Language: English. * Required Skills: Analytical Thinking, Negotiation and Conflict Resolution, Decision-Making, Attention to Detail.
