Senior Demand Planner

Sundays for Dogs

4d

About The Position

Sundays is a fast-growing, direct-to-consumer dog food company on a mission to make it easier for pet parents to feed healthier, tastier meals. We craft air-dried dog food made from 100% human-grade ingredients — no fridge, prep, or mess required. We're looking for an experienced Sr. Demand Planner to own forecasting, inventory management, and cross-functional planning — critical to keeping tails wagging (and shelves stocked). This role reports directly to our Director of Procurement and has real visibility with senior leadership. We move fast and pivot constantly, so this isn't a role for someone who needs a slow ramp-up. You'll be trusted to own your work end to end — flagging problems before they become fire drills, not after.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in demand planning or supply chain management within a CPG company — pet food or food industry experience strongly preferred (2 years considered for candidates with pet industry experience)
• Startup experience in a high-volume, fast-paced environment
• Proficiency in forecasting tools, Excel/Google Sheets, and ERP systems, with comfort building models and running analyses
• Familiarity with AI tools (e.g., Claude, Gemini) and a willingness to use them as part of daily workflow
• A demonstrated track record managing S&OP processes, inventory optimization, and long-lead-time supply environments with manufacturing partners
• A proactive, detail-oriented mindset — comfortable working autonomously in a high-stakes, fast-paced environment and taking full ownership of outcomes

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain accurate demand forecasts across all SKUs, factoring in historical data, sales trends, seasonality, and promotional plans
• Lead the S&OP process, facilitating cross-functional alignment between supply chain, marketing, finance, and leadership
• Monitor inventory levels, ingredient lead times, and production schedules to prevent stockouts or overstock situations
• Partner closely with co-manufacturing partners to ensure on-time delivery and flag potential supply risks early — before they become a problem
• Provide scenario modeling and risk assessments to inform real purchase order timing and quantity decisions
• Track and review COGS monthly and provide updates to Management
• Translate forecast insights into actionable supply chain strategies, directly influencing PO placement and production planning
