Demand Planner

Glo Skin Beauty • Denver, CO

2d • Hybrid

About The Position

The Demand Planner owns Glo's demand and supply plan, from forecasting through purchase recommendations. The role determines what to buy, how much, and when for finished goods and components, and sets inventory levels across fulfillment locations to support availability while avoiding excess cash tied up in inventory and product expiry.

The planner maintains rolling SKU-level forecasts by channel, incorporates promotions, seasonality, launches, and discontinuations, and works with Marketing, eCommerce, and the product launch owner on launch volumes. The role translates forecasts into finished-goods and component supply plans, recommends purchase orders, manages inventory targets and allocation across locations, and monitors inventory health.

The Demand Planner also prepares demand and supply scenarios for monthly S&OP reviews and provides forecast inputs for the 3PL Manager's monthly Stord volume forecast. The work is primarily in a standard office or hybrid setting and may involve minimal travel for inventory audits, warehouse or 3PL visits, or team strategy sessions.

• Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills.
• Working knowledge of forecasting methods.
• Experience with ERP data and bills of materials (SAND or similar).
• Experience setting safety-stock and reorder policies and managing inventory across multiple locations.
• Ability to work cross-functionally with Marketing, eCommerce, Finance, and Operations, and clearly explain the plan and its trade-offs.
• Ability to keep forecasts and plans current while responding to day-to-day supply changes.
• Ability to perform extended periods of sitting or standing at a computer workstation and use standard office equipment.
• Frequent fine visual acuity for spreadsheet analysis, dataset review, forecasting models, and ERP system management.
• Occasional standing, walking, bending, and reaching; ability to lift and move light office supplies, product samples, or kit components weighing up to 15–20 lbs on occasion.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain a rolling SKU-level forecast by DTC, Professional, Amazon, and international channels.
• Incorporate promotions, seasonality, new product launches, and discontinuations into forecasts; partner with Marketing, eCommerce, and the product launch owner on launch volumes.
• Track forecast accuracy and bias, and refine forecasts based on results.
• Translate the forecast into a finished-goods supply plan that accounts for lead times, minimum order quantities, and cash.
• Determine component requirements using the finished-goods plan and bills of materials so finished goods and components are planned together.
• Deliver finished-goods and component purchase order recommendations to Logistics & Purchasing, including quantities and required dates.
• Set build quantities for seasonal and promotional kits.
• Set and maintain inventory targets, safety stock, and reorder points across Stord, Amazon FBA, and co-manufacturers.
