Job description

Senior Manager Distribution Planning: LVMH in New York

LVMH Perfumes & Cosmetics New York, NY Start Date11/01/2026

145000 Full-Time

Senior Manager, Distribution Planning is a full-time permanent role with LVMH Perfumes & Cosmetics in New York, United States. The position pays $125,000 to $165,000 and covers distribution, replenishment, inventory, and stock availability across a luxury beauty operation. The role works in a hybrid arrangement, with office presence shaped by company policy and business needs.

The manager develops distribution and replenishment strategies, monitors performance, and works with commercial, planning, logistics, retail, and e-commerce teams. One Distribution Planner reports to the role, which also contributes to network projects and brand integration work. New York-based fragrance professionals can connect the position to the city's wider beauty and perfume business community.

Distribution Planning In New York

The position is based in New York and covers the movement of perfume and beauty products through a distribution network. The manager works with commercial, planning, logistics, retail, and e-commerce teams to align inventory with customer and brand needs. The first occurrence of New York roles connects the city's hiring market to the location of the position.

Hybrid work combines office collaboration with work away from the office under company policy and business needs. Travel and flexible working hours may be required when distribution projects call for them. The role's geographic focus also places it near the commercial, retail, and e-commerce teams that shape demand for luxury fragrances and cosmetics.

Inventory And Replenishment Work

The manager develops distribution and replenishment strategies. Warehouse replenishment, inventory optimization, and key performance indicators form the operational center of the role.

• Build distribution and replenishment strategies.
• Manage warehouse replenishment and inventory.
• Track performance indicators and recommend actions.
• Improve processes, tools, and network scalability.
• Contribute to brand integration and network projects.
• Manage and develop one Distribution Planner.

Daily decisions depend on accurate inventory data, clear escalation of risks, and coordination across planning and logistics functions. The manager also supports process changes that improve the network's ability to handle new brands, products, and volume requirements.

Experience With Luxury Beauty Supply Planning

The profile seeks seven to ten years of experience in distribution, supply planning, inventory optimization, or a similar discipline. The job summary also states a minimum of five years of experience, while luxury or cosmetics experience is an advantage. A bachelor's degree is required, and a master's degree is preferred.

Advanced Excel and data manipulation skills support the analytical work. Power BI, enterprise resource planning systems, planning solutions, and project management experience strengthen the technical profile. Strong business judgment, communication, influence, leadership, problem-solving, and organization are part of the expected working style.

Cross-Functional Brand Projects

LVMH Perfumes & Cosmetics places the role across several operating groups rather than within logistics alone. Commercial, planning, retail, e-commerce, and logistics teams each contribute information that affects product availability and replenishment decisions. Network projects and brand integration work add a project-management element to the recurring inventory cycle.

The manager develops one Distribution Planner while improving processes and tools used by the wider operation. That reporting responsibility calls for clear priorities, useful performance measures, and direct coaching. Candidates with experience turning supply data into actions for commercial or retail partners can connect their past work to these duties.

The published salary range is $125,000 to $165,000. LVMH Inc. states that the range is guidance and that actual pay may fall outside it, so compensation discussions should account for the candidate's experience, skills, and role alignment.

The role's combination of fragrance, inventory, replenishment, and team leadership makes its application materials strongest when those operating facts appear together.
