Job Description
An employer is looking for a Demand Forecaster to collaborate with customers to forecast their future cloud resource needs based on both organic (historical usage, internal data) and inorganic (macroeconomic, market, and industry trends) inputs. The role involves evaluating forecast accuracy, monitoring usage patterns, and analyzing broader economic factors to provide data-driven recommendations for resource allocation and cost management. This person will work closely with customers to gather and assess their cloud resource projections, incorporating both organic inputs (usage trends, consumption data) and inorganic inputs (external factors, market conditions, macroeconomic trends). They will evaluate forecast accuracy by comparing projected resource usage against actual consumption, adjusting forecasts and strategies as needed. They will analyze Azure cloud service usage trends, historical data, and economic indicators to create comprehensive forecasts and recommendations for resource allocation. This person will provide insights and recommendations on cost control measures and resource optimization, ensuring customers stay within their budget while meeting operational needs. They will collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand customer requirements and maintain accurate cloud resource inventories to align with business objectives. This person will develop and distribute detailed forecasting reports, tracking changes in usage patterns and their impact on resource planning.
