9d • $93,820 - $125,081 • Remote

About The Position

The Planner owns replenishment and order writing for Babylist’s Furniture and Monitors categories. The categories include bulky, freight-heavy furniture and dropship-fulfilled monitor products. The role manages inventory flow across a largely dropship vendor base, balancing in-stock performance with longer lead times and fulfillment complexity. It reports into Division 3 Planning and works closely with Merchandising, Supply Chain, and Finance.

The Planner executes replenishment and order writing, manages vendor availability and delivery timing, owns monthly Open-to-Buy inputs, delivers weekly sales and inventory recaps, and builds pre-season inventory forecasts at category, brand, and SKU levels. The role also tracks out-of-stocks and discontinued items and partners with Merchandising on product launches and assortment changes.
