We are looking for a Director of Demand and Inventory Planning to join our Operations Team! This individual will report into our Senior Vice President, Fulfillment Operations and lead our end-to-end inventory planning function, overseeing demand forecasting, replenishment, and inventory allocation across our fulfillment network. This role will be responsible for optimizing inventory investments to maintain product availability, improve inventory turnover, and drive profitability. Working closely with partners across Merchandising, Finance, Supply Chain Operations, and executive leadership, this individual will align demand and inventory strategies with broader business and financial objectives. If you’re passionate about inventory optimization, enjoy using data to drive strategic decisions, and are excited to lead initiatives that improve operational efficiency and support business growth, we’d love to hear from you!

Base Salary: The expected starting salary for the position is $189,175 to $270,250 within a full position range of $189,175 to $351,325 annually. This range reflects the long-term earning potential for the role. Our starting pay practice is the minimum to middle portion of the range, depending on experience, qualifications, and internal equity, consistent with applicable law and it is rare for a new hire to start above the midpoint.

Key Responsibilities:

• Inventory strategy and governance
  • Define and lead our inventory strategy, including SKU segmentation, service level targets, and stocking policy by fulfillment center
  • Establish clear guardrails that balance service, working capital, and profitability, with defined decision rights across functions
  • Build the framework for SKU governance, including how new items are introduced and how unproductive inventory is identified and exited
  • Define the criteria for which SKUs we own and stock versus which are better served through marketplace or third-party fulfillment, balancing customer speed and experience, margin, and inventory investment
  • Own the long-term inventory planning roadmap across process, systems, and operating model
• Demand forecasting
  • Establish an enterprise forecasting framework with clear accuracy measures and accountability
  • Combine historical data, system-driven forecasting, and merchant input into a single, SKU-level demand signal
  • Account for seasonality, promotions, product lifecycle, and regional demand patterns

  • Deliver clear executive reporting with root-cause analysis and corrective action
• Cross-functional leadership
  • Serve as the primary inventory planning partner to Merchandising, Finance, and Supply Chain Operations. Merchandising owns category financial plans, assortment, and margin strategy; you own translating those plans into inventory decisions
  • Partner with Finance on annual budgeting, ongoing reforecasting, and inventory investment targets
• Systems, data, and operating model
  • Own planning systems strategy and adoption, and work with IT, Analytics, and our automation and WMS programs to build the reporting and forecasting tools the team needs
• Leadership and talent development
  • Build, develop, and retain a high-performing planning organization
  • Assess the current team structure and design the model that fits our growth, including whether forecasting and replenishment should be organized as separate functions
  • Develop bench strength and succession plans, and foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

What you will bring:

• Strong financial acumen and experience managing inventory investment
