Jobbeschreibung

(Senior) Strategic Planner (all genders)

Full-time

ABOUT YOU is one of Europe’s fastest growing e-commerce companies. Based in Hamburg and Berlin, we operate at the intersection of fashion and technology. Our mission is to rethink online shopping and make it personal and seamless. This takes more than good ideas. It takes people who take initiative and challenge the status quo. We believe in flat hierarchies, direct communication, and pragmatic decisions. No long approval chains. Just ownership, trust, and clear responsibility. We work hard, but we also believe in enjoying the ride together - over team lunches, afterwork drinks, company events, or a quick coffee in between meetings.If this sounds like you, ABOUT YOU could be the right place to bring in your perspective.

Our Strategic Planning Team plays a crucial role in translating high-level business goals into actionable strategies, ensuring alignment across departments and building a bridge between the finance department and the supply business teams. By breaking down ABOUT YOU’s overall revenue and profit goals into clear, consumable input, we empower teams to work efficiently toward achieving company objectives. Planning is conducted at different levels of granularity – from the strategic 5-year plan to the fiscal year plan, monthly targets, and daily forecasts. We continuously monitor our KPIs, analyze deviations, and drive corrective actions. Through precise forecasting and target setting, as well as campaigns and performance analysis, we provide data-driven insights and hence support and guide our various stakeholders, like Pricing, Marketing, Merchandise Planning, Partner Management or Logistics, in their business decisions.
