📈 Scale: We’re growing fast: Our community of 133 million registered users and 261,000+ active partners across 20 countries, have together already saved 517+ million meals from going to waste - avoiding over 1.4M tonnes of CO2e from entering the Earth’s atmosphere!

We are also honoured to be included in TIME’s 100 Most Influential Companies. Most recently, we won Apple’s coveted Cultural Impact Winner.

About the role

We’re looking for a Commercial Planning Manager to join the Parcels Planning team.

The team combines commercial judgement with statistical modelling, causal inference, AI and decision science to support better business decisions.

You’ll own the commercial planning methodology across budgeting, rolling forecasting, latest estimates and scenario planning, ensuring planning outputs are statistically robust, commercially relevant and operationally actionable. You’ll work closely with Commercial leaders, Logistics, Finance and country teams to make sure we have a clear view of demand, revenue, margin and the actions needed to deliver against our targets.

You’ll own about transforming how commercial planning is performed by combining statistical modelling, causal analysis, AI-assisted workflows and automation to build a faster, more accurate and more scalable planning capability,, moving the team away from manual or fragmented ways of working and towards more scalable, data-led planning.
You’ll lead core commercial planning processes across Parcels, including budgeting, 4+8 forecasting, monthly latest estimates and re-forecasting cycles.
You’ll build a clear view of expected performance across key markets, helping the business understand risks, opportunities and the actions needed to close gaps.
You’ll partner closely with Commercial and country teams to understand market performance, customer demand, sales trends, pricing, conversion and order behaviour.
You’ll run ad hoc commercial deep dives into areas such as demand, revenue, AOV, margin, item availability, market trends and customer behaviour.
You’ll work with Finance to make sure forecasts are commercially grounded, clearly explained and connected to business targets.
You’ll support the AD of Planning in building a stronger planning rhythm for Parcels, including clearer reporting, better governance and improved decision-making forums.

Requirements

Experience in commercial planning, business planning, trading, merchandising, demand planning, finance, strategy or a similar commercially focused role.

A practical understanding of how to use AI responsibly in a business planning context, including where it can add value and where human judgement, governance and validation are still critical.
Practical experience using AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or similar to improve budgeting, forecasting, planning, reporting or analytical processes.
Strong understanding of forecasting methodologies including time series forecasting, regression modelling, seasonality, trend decomposition, demand sensing and modelling.
Experience evaluating forecast accuracy using appropriate statistical measures such as MAPE, WAPE, RMSE, bias or similar metrics.
Experience improving planning processes through automation, AI-assisted workflows, better data structures or more scalable tools.
Strong analytical skills, with the ability to work with large datasets and turn them into clear commercial insight.
Comfortable working with revenue, margin, pricing, demand, conversion, forecast accuracy or similar commercial KPIs.
Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills. Experience with Looker, SQL, Python, Apps Script or other BI/automation tools would be a plus.
