Senior Manager, Strategic Planning

Bodily•New York, NY

About The Position

Bodily is a category-defining maternal and women's health brand built on the belief that every woman deserves honest, expert-backed guidance through the biggest physical transitions of her life. We sell direct-to-consumer and through major retail partners including Target. We're a lean, high-output team that takes our work seriously and moves fast. Our culture is collaborative and mission-driven — and we hold ourselves to a high analytical and executional standard. If you want to do work that matters, with people who care about getting it right, Bodily is that place. The Role We're hiring a Senior Manager, Strategic Planning to report directly to the CEO and own the planning, forecasting, and demand and inventory strategy across our business. This is one of the most influential roles at Bodily — sitting at the center of our most consequential decisions. You'll own revenue and demand forecasting across DTC, Amazon, and wholesale, drive cross-functional alignment on plans, lead strategic inventory planning, and serve as a key analytical thought partner to the CEO. Your models and analysis will directly shape how we allocate capital, manage inventory risk, and plan for growth.

Requirements

We're open to candidates from demand planning and supply chain strategy backgrounds or from finance and investment backgrounds — what matters most is analytical rigor, strong financial modeling, and a genuine desire to own outcomes inside an operating business, not just analyze from the outside.
4–7 years in demand planning, S&OP, or supply chain strategy in a fast-paced consumer, retail, e-commerce, or CPG environment — with ownership of multi-channel forecasts and inventory strategy; OR 4–6 years in FP&A, private equity, or investment banking (M&A or coverage groups) with a demonstrated track record of complex financial modeling and strong interest in or prior exposure to operating roles
In either case: hands-on experience building the models and owning the methodology — not just running reports or supporting others' analysis
Advanced financial modeling: multi-tab operating models, driver-based forecasting, scenario analyses, and sensitivity tables
Ability to connect a demand forecast to a P&L and communicate financial implications clearly to non-finance audiences
Strong cross-functional collaboration: experience aligning marketing, supply chain, finance, and commercial teams on shared plans
Comfort with ambiguity, fast-changing priorities, and high-consequence decisions with imperfect information
Direct, clear communicator — you share your perspective, back it up with data, and engage constructively when challenged
