About the role

  • This is a leadership role within Planning where you're accountable not just for hitting your numbers, but for how decisions get made.
  • Your day-to-day sits at the intersection of analytics, judgment, and influence.
  • You'll operate in close partnership with Merchandising, bringing a clear point of view and engaging in real debate to get to better outcomes.

Responsibilities

  • We build products that positively impact millions of people's lives
  • Your application and interviews should still reflect you and your own thinking.
  • These tools support our team's review; they do not replace it, and every hiring decision is made by a person.
  • 3+ years managing planners, including hiring and developing high-performing teams (at least 2 direct reports ) and raising the bar on planning capability

Requirements

  • Deep expertise in retail math, forecasting, and inventory management, including OTB ownership, in-season reforecasting, and inventory turn optimization
  • Proven ability to influence Merchandising leaders on assortment, pricing, and investment decisions, bringing a clear, data-backed point of view-not just reporting performance
  • Experience leading cross-functional, cross-divisional initiatives that changed how planning operates (process, tools, or ways of working)

Nice to have

  • Strong command of planning tools and data environments (e.g., advanced Excel, plus systems like Anaplan, Netsuite, SAP, or similar )-able to independently diagnose performance and translate it into decisions

Compensation

  • $140,685 to $168,905 + target 20% annual bonus and competitive equity
  • Your starting salary will be based on your location, experience, and qualifications, with increases over time tied to performance, role growth, and internal pay equity.
