(Senior) Strategic Planner (all genders)

About our Business Department

In our Business unit, ideas don't stay ideas for long.
We work on what moves ABOUT YOU forward. From strategy to day-to-day operations, from numbers to people. We sit close to the core of the company, connecting the dots, making sense of the data, and turning plans into action.
Business here means understanding how everything links together. It means making decisions. A lot of them. And those decisions set the direction.

What To Expect

Our Strategic Planning Team plays a crucial role in translating high-level business goals into actionable strategies, ensuring alignment across departments and building a bridge between the finance department and the supply business teams. By breaking down ABOUT YOU’s overall revenue and profit goals into clear, consumable input, we empower teams to work efficiently toward achieving company objectives. Planning is conducted at different levels of granularity - from the strategic 5-year plan to the fiscal year plan, monthly targets, and daily forecasts. We continuously monitor our KPIs, analyze deviations, and drive corrective actions. Through precise forecasting and target setting, as well as campaigns and performance analysis, we provide data-driven insights and hence support and guide our various stakeholders, like Pricing, Marketing, Merchandise Planning, Partner Management or Logistics, in their business decisions.
