About The Position

We are looking for a detail-oriented, analytically strong Demand Planner to join our expanding team at our Headquarters location in Dallas, Texas! The Demand Planner is responsible for forecasting product demand across all Miss A sales channels and translating those forecasts into accurate, timely purchase orders submitted to suppliers. This role ensures Miss A has the right inventory — in the right quantities — arriving at the right time, without overstocking or running out of stock. This is a highly analytical role that requires deep fluency in sales data, strong supplier relationships, and the operational discipline to manage lead times, safety stock, and replenishment cycles across a fast-moving, trend-driven product assortment. The Demand Planner works hand in hand with the Buying team on what to buy, and with the Allocations & Inventory Specialist on how to distribute what arrives.
