This role sits at the center of the monthly Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) cycle — translating sales input, distributor sell-through, and statistical baselines into a single consensus demand plan that drives supply commitments, inventory targets, and quarterly revenue execution.
The role extends beyond demand. The Demand Planner is also accountable for translating the consensus demand plan into an executable supply plan — running MRP, maintaining the bill of material and planning master data that drive it, and monitoring supply coverage against inventory, lead time, and service targets across the foundry and OSAT network.
The successful candidate is analytical, comfortable defending a forecast position with data, and able to work credibly with Sales, Business Unit leadership, Operations, and Finance. This is a high-visibility role: the output of this position directly informs wafer starts, assembly and test capacity bookings, and the revenue commitments the business makes to executive leadership.
