You’ll work cross-functionally with Operations, Site Merchandising, Warehouse, Marketing and Buyers to manage pre-season and in-season plans, drive inventory health, and support the broader Merch Strategy team. This is a high-impact individual contributor role for a detail-oriented, analytically strong planner who thrives in a fast-paced, subscription-based retail environment, communicates with clarity across all levels of the organization, and is excited by a planning function that looks very different from traditional retail.

• Strong Excel skills required; experience with planning or inventory systems preferred.
• Deep proficiency in retail math, OTB management, and inventory planning, with demonstrated ability to manage sales, margin, and inventory targets and reconcile plans to actuals in-season.
• Proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally with Finance, Ops, Buyers, Warehouse, and Marketing.
• Proactive problem-solver who can identify risks (sellout, excess, product expiration) and develop solutions independently, escalating as needed.
• Comfort operating in a non-traditional planning environment where execution across cross-functional teams is fast paced and extends beyond the playbook of a traditional planning role
• Exceptional organization and accuracy across concurrent workstreams, with a bias toward process improvement and building systems that scale
• Demonstrated fluency with modern AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) and the ability to apply them practically, for data synthesis, market research, workflow acceleration, and business analysis

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end financial planning and inventory strategy for the Seasonal Box and Monthly Beauty Box– managing pre-season plans, in-season OTB, and post-season recaps across both businesses
• Monitor weekly inventory performance and address inventory concerns, partnering with Ops, Site Merch, Warehouse, and Marketing on depletion strategies.
• Navigate the operational complexity of subscription box execution, including coordination across fulfillment, marketing, and site teams on tasks that sit outside traditional planning scope, but are critical to box success.
• Partner with Buying and Merch Strategy on assortment and category decisions, bringing a financial and inventory lens to pre-season planning conversations
• Maintain planning files and systems to support the Merch Strategy and total Planning teams, holding a high bar for accuracy, consistency, and process improvement.
• Support Merchandising team and cross-functional partners with analysis and business decisions as needed
