Job Description:

We’re seeking a Supply & Demand Planning Manager to join a lean, collaborative team supporting a fast-moving portfolio of D2C beauty and wellness brands. Reporting to the Director of Supply Chain & Demand Planning, this role will play a key part in forecasting, planning, and executing inventory strategies across multiple brands, with a focus on demand planning for our direct-to-consumer (D2C) business. You’ll partner closely with cross-functional teams—including eCommerce, Acquisition, and Finance—to translate marketing spend and performance insights into actionable supply plans. This is a highly visible, hands-on role that blends analytical rigor, strategic foresight, and strong execution within a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

Job Responsibility:

Own end-to-end demand and supply planning for D2C channels, with some support across B2B as needed
Review and analyze daily and weekly reports (forecast, supply planning, weeks of supply, and on-hand inventory) to identify gaps, risks, and opportunities
Incorporate acquisition and marketing spend data into weekly forecast adjustments
update and upload forecasts every Tuesday
Execute tactical adjustments such as purchase order timing, cancellations, and cost management decisions based on changing forecasts and business priorities
Collaborate weekly with brand teams across the organization to align on cross-brand updates, inventory needs, and upcoming product demand
Develop and execute strategies to optimize inventory levels, balance cash investment, and minimize backorders or stockouts
Manage purchase order strategy—evaluate MOQ combinations, production timing, and cost exposure
Partner with Finance and Operations to ensure forecast accuracy and support business decisions through robust data insights
Navigate between multiple systems (Oracle, NetSuite, BI tools) and out-of-system Excel models to extract, reconcile, and analyze data
Support business decisions in an environment that requires adaptability, curiosity, and comfort with ambiguity.

Requirements:

5–8 years of experience in Supply & Demand Planning, ideally within D2C, subscription, or direct-response environments
Advanced Excel proficiency—must be highly skilled in advanced formulas, multi-source pivot tables, and data joins (beyond basic v-lookups and pivots)
Experience working across multiple systems (Oracle, NetSuite, BI tools)
Shopify familiarity a plus
Strong analytical mindset with the ability to move fluidly between strategic and tactical work
Excellent interpersonal skills
able to collaborate effectively with cross-functional partners in eCommerce, Acquisition, Finance, and Operations
Proven ability to work in a fast-moving, high-ambiguity environment and make data-driven decisions with incomplete information
Flexible, resourceful, and curious problem solver—comfortable operating in an entrepreneurial, high-growth D2C culture.

Nice to have:

Shopify familiarity
innovation starts with people

What we offer:

Access to top jobs
competitive compensation
