As the Senior Forecasting Scientist at Teleflex, you will lead the evolution of our global demand and revenue signals. Sitting within the Enterprise Analytics team, you will be responsible for the end-to-end forecasting lifecycle—from developing sophisticated statistical models to leading the Consensus Planning process with our Commercial and Finance partners.
You will manage a small team of specialists, ensuring that our statistical "baseline" is mathematically sound while facilitating the "human" overlay of market intelligence. Your work will directly impact Teleflex’s global supply chain efficiency and financial predictability.

Principal Responsibilities

• Team Leadership: Manage and mentor a small team of analysts, overseeing their technical output and professional development.
• Consensus Management: Lead monthly consensus cycles, collaborating with Commercial, Marketing, and Finance leads to integrate "bottom-up" market insights into "top-down" statistical models.
• Platform Optimization: Act as a subject matter expert for our forecasting technology (o9 Solutions), ensuring the platform's algorithms are tuned for maximum performance.
• S&OP Integration: Align demand forecasts with Supply Chain and Manufacturing capacity planning to ensure optimal product availability.

• Preferred: Masters in a quantitative field or an MBA with a heavy emphasis on Supply Chain Analytics.

• Modelling Toolkit: Expert proficiency in Python or R for time-series analysis (e.g., ARIMA, Prophet, XGBoost, or Deep Learning for forecasting).
• Technology: Experience with Enterprise Planning tools—experience with o9 Solutions is a major advantage; otherwise, experience with SAP IBP, Kinaxis, or Blue Yonder is expected.
• Commercial Acumen: Proven ability to "speak the language" of Sales and Marketing to extract qualitative insights for the forecast.
• Leadership: Prior experience managing direct reports or leading significant cross-functional project teams.
• Data Visualisation: Proficiency in Power BI or Tableau to visualize forecast accuracy and bias trends.
