About The Position

Inspired by the sun, surf, and sand of Southern California, we became a leading innovator in lifestyle performance apparel by making clothes for real life—plus working with premium wholesalers, building a leading e-commerce business, and opening retail stores around the world. We invite you to join team TravisMathew. The Sr. Demand Planner is responsible for leading, developing, and executing against seasonal demand and receipt plans. This individual will own the forecasts across our DTC channels, partnering with key cross-functional partners to create dynamic operational plans designed to meet TravisMathew’s sales, service, and inventory objectives.
