Director, Forecasting & Insights

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Demand Forecasting & Insights team at Peloton combines rigorous analysis with a strategic mindset to (i) forecast consumer demand for Peloton’s products, (ii) communicate the forecast and demand trends to stakeholders across the business and (iii) facilitate strategic decision-making to help efficiently grow demand. The leader of the team reports to Peloton’s Chief Financial Officer and members of the team have regular opportunities to interact with leaders across the C-suite. Our team is full of highly analytical individuals who know how to extract meaning from data and distill that into a clear and actionable narrative for senior leadership. We care deeply about Peloton’s mission, the broader Peloton community, and one another.

You will lead a team of analysts responsible for forecasting sales across Peloton’s portfolio (Bike, Tread, Row, Guide, and Accessories), diagnosing variance vs. plan, and running ad hoc analyses to inform GTM investment decisions. Success in this role requires a continuous-improvement mindset, extremely high standards for accuracy, and outstanding communication / “story-telling” abilities. You are someone who thrives on making an impact through your own contributions and those of the team you lead. You will drive business decisions through data-driven recommendations and strong collaboration with stakeholders across the organization (Marketing, FP&A, Supply Chain and Product).
