About the role

AMD is seeking a Business Planning Manager to own end-market demand forecasting and business operations for a defined portfolio of x86 end markets within the Adaptive & Embedded Computing Group (AECG), including Automotive, Aerospace & Defense, Industrial/Robotics/Healthcare, Test & Measurement, and Audio/Video/Broadcast. This IP-level, individual-contributor role drives monthly/quarterly forecast cycles, ensures forecast accuracy, and partners across Sales, Finance, Supply Chain, and Engineering.

Responsibilities

  • Own the end-to-end monthly and quarterly forecast cycle (near-term, mid-range, AOP forecasts) for assigned end markets, managing sequential forecast rounds against established deadlines.
  • Build, reconcile, and load market-level forecast data, including unit volume, ASP, revenue, and margin, into AMD’s SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) system, ensuring accuracy across several demand versions.
  • Maintain and update market-specific forecast models each cycle, ensuring timely, accurate submission ahead of published deadlines, applying business judgment to make forecast recommendations to leadership.
  • Own alignment between demand forecasts and supply requests for assigned markets, validating and approving supply request adjustments so that supply signals accurately reflect owned demand across the S&OP cycle, and proactively resolving demand-supply misalignment before it impacts quarter-end commitments.
  • Reconcile sell-in and sell-through data, unconstrained demand, and period-over-period variance as part of the forecast build process.
  • Own quarter-close bridges and prepare final market forecasts for leadership review and approval prior to distribution to Finance, Sales, and Operations.
  • Represent assigned end-market performance, risks, and opportunities in weekly business reviews and quarterly operations reviews.
  • Partner with Sales to validate customer-level demand signals and incorporate them into market forecasts.
  • Collaborate with Engineering and Product teams on product-to-market alignment and roadmap integration for assigned markets.
  • Prepare and deliver forecast presentations, dashboards, and variance analyses for business reviews and leadership readouts.
  • Monitor weekly and daily bookings to ensure alignment with revenue attainment and management reporting.
  • Identify and escalate forecast risks, demand/supply imbalances, and market trend shifts to leadership in a timely manner.
  • Apply AI tools — both team-built and self-developed — to improve forecast quality, process efficiency, and analytical output.
  • Contribute to ongoing improvement of forecast models, IBP processes, and cross-team data handoffs to improve accuracy and efficiency.
  • Partner with other Business Managers to maintain consistent forecast methodology and provide mutual process coverage.

Qualifications

  • Proven experiences in business management, FP&A, demand planning, or supply chain/business operations, ideally within the semiconductor, hardware, or technology industries.
  • Advanced Excel and BI reporting skills, with demonstrated ability to build, reconcile, and maintain complex, scalable forecast models.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting to cross-functional and leadership audiences.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to manage multiple concurrent deadlines to a high degree of accuracy.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently, exercise sound judgment, and escalate issues appropriately.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Economics, Supply Chain, Engineering, or a related field.
