Enterprise Forecasting and Planning Analyst
Universal BearingsAbout the Role Wake up to a dashboard that tells a story: yesterday’s demand curves shifting, costs nudging forecasts, and KPIs hinting at what to fix next. As our Enterprise Forecasting and Planning Analyst, your day moves from exploring data and pressure-testing assumptions to partnering with Finance, Operations, Supply Chain, and Sales to turn insights into action. You’ll build models, interrogate variances, and help the business make confident choices—today and over the long horizon. What You’ll Tackle Comb through historical and in-flight data to pinpoint patterns, opportunities, risks, and performance gaps. Design and maintain forecasting models and planning reports that power operational and business decisions. Track results against forecasts, budgets, plans, and established KPIs to keep performance on course. Investigate variances, explain the “why,” and recommend adjustments to optimize outcomes and resource use. Drive the planning rhythm: annual planning, monthly/quarterly forecast updates, and long-range outlooks. Collaborate with Finance, Operations, Supply Chain, Sales, and other teams to gather requirements and co-create practical planning solutions. Keep assumptions, datasets, models, and documentation accurate, current, and auditable. Run scenario and what-if analyses to evaluate potential choices before the business commits. Spot and lead improvements in processes, reporting, data quality, and planning methodologies. Balance multiple priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced environment without losing the details. Communicate effectively in Korean—reading, writing, and speaking—to support stakeholders and data narratives.
