Summary: Lead the development and execution of lifecycle forecasts across NPI, sustaining, and EOL products, influencing supply chain and product strategy. Highlights: 1. Lead lifecycle and forecasting with strategic analytical capabilities. 2. Apply technical expertise in electronic components for electrotherapy devices. 3. Drive continuous improvement in forecasting and planning processes. **Summary:** As a Lifecycle Strategist \& Planner, you will lead the development, integration, and execution of lifecycle forecasts across New Product Introductions (NPI), sustaining products, and end of life (EOL) transitions. This role requires a strategic thinker with strong analytical capabilities and hands on experience working with electronic components used in electrotherapy and rehabilitation devices. You will own complex forecasting models, partner closely with engineering and manufacturing teams, and ensure that product launches, transitions, and retirements are executed with precision. Your expertise will directly influence supply chain readiness, portfolio optimization, and long\-term product strategy. **Key Responsibilities.** **Lifecycle \& Forecasting Leadership** * Develop and manage NPI demand forecasts at multiple levels of aggregation (segment, marketing group, product family) to support launch and first year demand. * Lead ramp down and cannibalization forecasting for legacy products, ensuring smooth transitions and minimal supply disruption. * Evaluate historical trends, market drivers, and statistical models to refine lifecycle forecasts and improve accuracy. * Drive portfolio optimization by identifying declining product families and recommending EOL timing in partnership with Marketing, Sales Ops, and Engineering. **Technical \& Component Expertise** * Apply working knowledge of electronic components commonly used in electrotherapy and rehabilitation devices (e.g., power supplies, PCBs, control boards, connectors, sensors, and therapeutic output modules). * Collaborate with R\&D and engineering teams to understand component availability, obsolescence risks, and design changes impacting lifecycle planning. * Assess component lead times, supplier constraints, and BOM changes to ensure accurate NPI and EOL planning. **Cross Functional Collaboration** * Serve as the primary forecasting partner for Supply \& Network Planning, providing actionable insights for inventory strategy, capacity planning, and risk mitigation. * Maintain and optimize lifecycle master data, ensuring accuracy across ERP and advanced planning systems. * Communicate forecast changes, risks, and action plans to stakeholders across supply chain, marketing, engineering, and operations. * Prepare and deliver executive level reporting on NPI performance, EOL readiness, and lifecycle health. **Continuous Improvement** * Lead initiatives to improve forecasting accuracy, lifecycle visibility, and planning processes. * Recommend enhancements to planning tools, data structures, and cross functional workflows. **Qualifications.** * Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, Business, or a related field. * 3–5\+ years of experience in demand planning, lifecycle planning, or supply chain management. * Proficiency with ERP systems and advanced planning tools (Kinaxis preferred). * Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret complex data sets and translate them into actionable insights. * Solid understanding of demand forecasting methodologies, product lifecycle management, and S\&OP processes. * Proficient en English: Advanced level. **Desired Characteristics:** * Experience in medical device, electrotherapy, or related regulated manufacturing environments. * Experience working with electronic components used in medical, rehabilitation, or electrotherapy devices. * Familiarity with component level BOM structures and engineering change processes. * Demonstrated success managing NPIs and EOL transitions in a multi\-product portfolio. * Advanced Excel or data analytics tool proficiency (Power BI, Tableau, SQL, etc.) **KINDLY UPLOAD YOUR ENGLISH RESUME** Job Type: Full\-time Application Question(s): * Why are you interested in participate in this process? * What is your minimum gross daily salary expectation? Education: * Bachelor's (Preferred) Experience: * demand / lifecycle planning, or supply chain mgmt.: 3 years (Preferred) Language: * more than 90% English (Required) Work Location: Remote
