About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Evaluate sales forecasts and execute inventory purchases that support sales optimization, turn expectations, and in-stock goals across a high-SKU assortment.
Leverage AI-powered demand forecasting platforms to translate signals into actionable replenishment decisions — and bring the judgment to know when manual intervention improves on the model.
Own and maintain supplier configurations and replenishment parameters within planning and ERP systems across your assigned vendor base.
Investigate forecast exceptions and drive accuracy and bias improvement through data-informed adjustments.
Monitor key inventory KPIs and drive corrective action. Build and maintain reporting in Looker, Excel, and AI-driven analytics tools that goes beyond describing what happened to recommending what to do next.
Partner with Merchandising and Marketing to develop strategies that move aged inventory.
Work closely with suppliers to ensure follow-through on replenishment orders and forecasted commitments.
Liaise with Billing and Accounting on invoicing and receipt discrepancies.
Track orders from PO submission through EDI confirmation and receipt into fulfillment centers.
Recommend stock balance transfers between warehouse locations based on demand signals and fulfillment data.
Champion ongoing improvement in planning systems, data quality, and processes. Proactively identify and pilot AI and automation opportunities — anomaly detection, automated reorder triggers, scenario modeling — and share what works with the broader team.

Requirements

What you’ll need

4–6 years of inventory planning and procurement experience in a DTC or digitally native eCommerce environment, with demonstrated success managing a high-SKU, high-velocity assortment
Hands-on experience with demand forecasting platforms such as Relex, Toolio, Anaplan, or equivalent — including genuine curiosity about evaluating and adopting new planning technologies as they emerge
Demonstrated AI fluency applied specifically to inventory planning workflows — demand sensing, automated replenishment, anomaly detection, or scenario modeling — and an active appetite to push further as the tools evolve
Advanced Excel proficiency required; Looker or equivalent BI tool experience strongly preferred
Proven track record against core inventory metrics: in-stock rate, turn, weeks of supply, forecast accuracy, and aged inventory reduction
Strong cross-functional communication skills — able to translate planning data into clear, actionable recommendations for Merchandising, Marketing, Finance, and Operations partners
A self-directed working style; you seek out the best available tools, move without being asked, and treat continuous improvement as a core part of the job — not an extra
