About the Role

We are looking for a dedicated, full time Demand Planning and Inventory Manager to own forecasting and inventory accuracy across our portfolio of consumer products brands. This is a company with multiple direct to consumer subscription brands, one single purchase DTC brand, and two wholesale brands sold through major retail partners.

This role sits at the center of how we plan and manage inventory. The single most important thing this person owns is making sure our forecasting is accurate and that our recorded inventory position actually reflects reality, by working closely with our warehouse team to reconcile sales order activity against physical cycle counts every week. You will be the person who catches a forecasting error before it becomes a stockout, who catches an inventory discrepancy before it throws off a reorder decision, and who builds the reporting infrastructure that lets leadership see true inventory health at a glance across every brand and channel.

This is a dedicated, single client role. You will not be splitting your time or attention across other companies or accounts.

Key Responsibilities

Demand Planning and Forecasting

• Analyze sales velocity across all DTC brands and forecast demand by SKU
• Determine and execute reorder timing and quantities for DTC brands to avoid stockouts and overstock
• Incorporate seasonality trends and channel performance data from ecommerce, Amazon, retail marketplace, and social commerce channels into forecasting and reorder decisions
• Coordinate directly with our overseas production team on reorder needs, production timing, and inventory availability

Sales Order and Inventory Reconciliation

• Own the process of pulling sales orders across all sales channels, including wholesale retail partners and marketplace channels, and ensuring inventory is accurately and promptly decremented as orders ship from our warehouse
• Maintain a real time, accurate view of true available inventory at all times, since forecasting, reordering, and fulfillment decisions all depend on this number being correct
• Review and reconcile weekly cycle count data provided by the warehouse shipping and receiving coordinator against expected inventory levels based on sales order activity
• Investigate and resolve inventory discrepancies, tracing issues back to root cause, whether that is a sales order processing error, a receiving error, or a physical count error
• Note: this role reviews and reconciles cycle count data but does not have supervisory authority over the warehouse coordinator, who reports separately to the Senior Operations Manager

Reporting and Visibility

• Maintain a formal reorder tracker and replenishment schedule, kept current and accessible to leadership
• Build and maintain regular reporting on inventory health, discrepancy trends, forecast accuracy, and stock levels across all brands
• Proactively communicate inventory risks and planning recommendations directly to leadership, rather than waiting to be asked

Additional Responsibilities

• Create, track, and reconcile purchase orders, flagging issues before they affect operations
• Own the shipment calendar and deadline tracking for inventory sent into third party fulfillment centers, including Amazon FBA, ensuring shipments are submitted on time to prevent sales disruption
• Track replenishment needs and coordinate reorder timing and order minimums with our wholesale retail partners
• Maintain organized, accessible documentation for vendor contracts and communications

What We Are Looking For

• Prior experience in demand planning, forecasting, or inventory management, ideally spanning both DTC and wholesale or retail channels
• Strong analytical skills and genuine comfort working with numbers, forecasts, and reconciliation data in Excel or Google Sheets
• A precise, detail obsessed mindset, this role requires someone who catches small numerical discrepancies before they become larger problems
• Experience with Amazon marketplace operations, including FBA shipment coordination, is a plus
• Experience coordinating with overseas manufacturing or production teams is a plus
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for working with internal teams, vendors, and retail partners
• Ability to work as a dedicated, full time resource for a single company
• Comfort working independently in a remote structure with regular reporting cadence to leadership

Reporting Structure

This role reports to the Senior Operations Manager. It works closely with, but does not supervise, the warehouse shipping and receiving coordinator, who reports separately within operations.

Why Join Our Team

• A stage of company where you will help build forecasting and inventory reporting infrastructure from the ground up, not just follow existing systems
• Full ownership of demand planning and inventory accuracy across multiple brands
• A collaborative, low ego team environment where your work has direct, visible impact
• Steady operational culture that values precision and clear communication
