About the role

- Lead the annual operating plan and rolling forecast cadence in partnership with the CEO
- Conduct variance analysis on actuals vs. forecast; identify root causes and develop updated plans
- Own inventory planning strategy across all channels — translating demand forecasts into buy decisions, replenishment timing, and supply chain inputs
- Monitor inventory positions across SKUs and channels; identify and mitigate risks including out-of-stock, overstock, and aging inventory
- Build scenario models to stress-test inventory plans under different demand, lead time, and sell-through assumptions
- Partner with supply chain and operations to ensure forecasts translate into executable fulfillment plans
- Own the integrated business planning process — connecting demand signals, inventory, marketing, and financial plans
- Drive alignment across marketing, supply chain, operations, and wholesale on shared forecasts and assumptions
- Partner with the CMO and COO as an embedded analytical and planning resource
- Build analytical frameworks and financial models to support key decisions: channel economics, pricing, new product ROI, promotional strategy
- Build and maintain KPI dashboards and reporting infrastructure for real-time business visibility
- Lead ad hoc strategic analyses and special projects for the CEO
Requirements

- Strong cross-functional collaboration: experience aligning marketing, supply chain, finance, and commercial teams on shared plans

- Direct, clear communicator — you share your perspective, back it up with data, and engage constructively when challenged
