Job description

Reports to: Director of Supply & Sourcing — Ally Montoya

ABOUT THE ROLE

ACTA is HydroJug's performance apparel brand, and this role is the supply planning engine behind it. As Supply Planner for Acta, you own the end-to-end supply plan for a 200–250 SKU apparel portfolio — translating size × color × season demand signals into production purchase orders, managing factory production schedules, and tracking sample milestones with overseas manufacturers in Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Honduras.

You will work within a tight supply/demand/inventory triangle alongside Catherine Iverson (Sourcing Analyst, ACTA) and Ivana Majstorovic (Demand Planner, ACTA). This is a collaborative lane — you do not work in a silo — but your ownership is clear: supply plan, production PO timing, and factory scheduling.

You will report to the Director of Supply & Sourcing (Ally Montoya) and work closely with the ACTA Brand Operations Manager (Kenzie Tibbitts).

This is a P1 hire.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• ACTA supply plan + production PO timing — own the apparel production calendar across all active SKUs; translate demand forecasts into factory purchase orders with correct size run ratios, color allocations, and seasonal timing
• Factory scheduling + sample milestone tracking — manage production schedules with ACTA's overseas factory base (Vietnam, Bangladesh, Honduras); track fit sample, pre-production sample, and TOP/SMS milestones to keep production on track
• Apparel supply-plan discipline — manage the unique complexity of apparel supply: size curve management, color minimums, seasonal carryover vs. close-out decisions, in-transit visibility
• Partnership with Catherine Iverson and Ivana Majstorovic — collaborate daily with the Sourcing Analyst (factory relationships, compliance, costing) and Demand Planner (forecast inputs) to keep the supply/demand/inventory triangle in balance
• Inventory positioning — work with Inventory and Warehouse teams to ensure inbound flow is sequenced and receipts are planned correctly across the ACTA assortment

SUCCESS CRITERIA

30 Days

• Onboarded to HydroJug systems (ERP, demand planning tools, factory portals)
• Fully mapped the ACTA SKU portfolio by factory, season, and production status
• Built working relationship with Catherine Iverson, Ivana Majstorovic, Kenzie Tibbitts, and Ally Montoya
• Reviewed current open production calendar and identified any milestone risks

90 Days

• Supply plan is live and owned — production POs placed, factory schedules confirmed, sample milestones tracked
• Weekly supply/demand reconciliation cadence running with Ivana and Catherine
• Inbound receipt plan built and shared with Warehouse; no surprise receipts
• At least one full seasonal production cycle in active management

180 Days

• ACTA supply plan operating with consistent OTIF on factory deliveries; supplier scorecard data flowing
• Size curve accuracy improving based on sell-through feedback from Demand Planner
• Factory relationships stable; milestone tracking process documented and repeatable
• Ally Montoya is not in the day-to-day — you own it

QUALIFICATIONS

Experience and background

• 2–5 years of supply planning experience in apparel — you have personally managed a size × color × season SKU portfolio and issued production POs to overseas factories
• Direct experience with overseas apparel manufacturing (Vietnam, Bangladesh, or similar); you know how to manage factories across time zones and long lead times
• Familiarity with sample milestone tracking (FIT, PPS, TOP/SMS) — you know what each milestone means and why missing it matters
• Strong Excel or Google Sheets skills; ERP experience (NetSuite, SAP, or similar)
• Ability to work in a collaborative triangle with a demand planner and sourcing analyst — not a solo operator

Traits that fit

• You are detail-oriented at the SKU level — a 200+ SKU apparel portfolio does not intimidate you
• You communicate proactively with factories and internal partners; you do not discover problems when inventory does not show up
• You can hold factories accountable without burning the relationship
• You thrive when there is a team around you but you do not need hand-holding on the core supply planning function
