Company Overview:
Sesh Products, Inc. is a fast-growing Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) company revolutionizing the nicotine industry with premium, high-quality, and less harmful alternatives. With operations in Canada and the U.S., we offer an entrepreneurial environment where driven individuals can make a significant impact and grow with the company.
Position Overview:
We are seeking a skilled and proactive Demand Planner with experience in both mature and growth-stage environments. This role is critical for developing accurate, logic-driven demand forecasts and ensuring optimized inventory management across our regulated product portfolio. You’ll have the opportunity to shape our supply chain processes while playing a hands-on role in scaling our high-growth startup.
This position requires a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and understands the complexities of channel dynamics (manufacturer ? distributor ? retailer ? consumer).
Key Responsibilities:
- Build and maintain complex demand planning models, primarily in Excel, to forecast product needs for U.S. and Canadian markets.
- Collaborate across supply chain, production, marketing, and sales teams to align supply plans with forecasted demand.
- Proactively monitor inventory levels to avoid stockouts or overstock situations, adjusting plans as needed.
- Lead monthly demand and supply planning meetings, driving alignment and execution on priorities.
- Contribute insights to production scheduling, promotional planning, and new product launches in a regulated environment.
- Refine and optimize forecasting processes, leveraging logic-driven models rather than off-the-shelf statistical tools.
Ideal Candidate:
- Experience: 3–5 years of demand planning experience in CPG or similar industries (e.g., consumer electronics, medical devices, manufactured consumer products with distribution and retail focus).
- Skillset: Strong Excel modeling capabilities and an understanding of channel dynamics. Familiarity with sell-through data and geographic distribution challenges is a plus.
- Adaptability: A mix of experience in both startup or growth-product environments and mature organizations.
- Approach: A doer with a hands-on mindset who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial setting and avoids a “push-a-button” approach to forecasting.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in a related field.
- Extra Credit: Experience with regulated products or a proven ability to scale planning processes in a high-growth environment.
Compensation & Benefits:
- Salary: Competitive, based on experience $110,000k+ range.
- Equity Component: Employee Stock Options to share in our success as we scale.
- Benefits: Comprehensive healthcare, FTO, flexible work arrangements, and significant career growth opportunities.
Why Join Sesh Products?
- Work in a high-growth startup that’s innovating within the nicotine industry.
- Be part of a small, high-impact team with opportunities for leadership as the company scales.
- Share in the success of the company through equity ownership.
