The ideal candidate will have a strong background in inventory management, demand planning, and ecommerce operations, with a passion for using data to drive impactful outcomes.

• A proven track record in ecommerce and/or Amazon inventory operations.
• Experience working with large product catalogs (5,000+ SKUs preferred).
• Strong analytical and quantitative skills – able to translate data into actionable insights.
• High-level problem-solving skills with the ability to roll up your sleeves for detailed execution.
• Advanced Google Sheets skills, including modeling and process automation concepts.
• Experience with forecasting tools; exposure to Python, SQL, or BI tools such as Tableau, Power BI, or Looker is a strong plus.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English – capable of simplifying complex data.
• Strong organizational and project management skills; ability to handle and make sense of complex datasets.
• Familiarity with ecommerce sales dynamics, seasonality, and inventory velocity.
• Confidence in creating, presenting, and reporting metrics, dashboards, and KPIs to leadership.
• A positive, proactive, and detail-oriented mindset with a passion for accuracy and process improvement.
• A collaborative nature with the ability to work across departments in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

Responsibilities

• Own the SKU velocity modeling process, including removing distortions caused by stockouts and sales spikes.
• Drive and improve the semi-automation of velocity calculations across a catalog of over 5,000 SKUs.
• Optimize on-hand inventory levels by identifying slow movers and executing liquidation strategies.
• Work cross-functionally with Supply Chain and Marketing teams to strategically launch promotions that move excess inventory.
• Build, maintain, and improve reporting tools to inform purchasing and demand planning decisions.
• Track and present KPIs and progress metrics to leadership in a clear and actionable way.

• Potential for career growth within a dynamic and expanding team.

This Position Is Perfect For You If…

• You’re a data-driven problem solver.
• You love turning complex data into clear, actionable insights, and you’re just as comfortable analyzing trends as you are building models in Google Sheets.
• You’re organized and detail-oriented.
• You can juggle thousands of SKUs, track key metrics, and ensure your forecasts are accurate — all while improving the systems behind them.
• You thrive in fast-paced environments.
• You embrace change, enjoy working cross-functionally, and bring a proactive, solutions-oriented mindset to everything you do.

Our hiring process is made up of four parts, so please be aware that you will need to dedicate time for a questionnaire, a video, and two 1-on-1 interviews.
