The Role: 

We’re searching for a Planning Associate who is extremely analytical, detail-oriented, and a natural problem solver. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, multi-channel environment and is curious, collaborative and an effective communicator.

This is a role for someone who loves digging into the numbers — pulling reports, analyzing findings, and translating them into clear, actionable recommendations.

Reporting to the Director of Planning.  

 

What You’ll Do: 

Initiate Analysis 

• Pull and build reporting to recap business performance by classification and subclass across all areas of the business, then analyze findings and surface actionable insights.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to translate analysis into strategies that drive sales; as you build expertise in the role, contribute to financial forecasts and long-term planning strategy for a rapidly growing retail business.

Inventory Optimization

• Track on order goods to ensure timely arrival and stock coverage.
• Manage and update monthly open-to-buy.

• Work together with Buying and Merchandising on line development and assortment recommendations.
• Partner with Allocation to increase productivity and manage omni-inventory.
• Bring your point of view to hindsight meetings, marketing meetings, and other cross-functional discussions that shape our strategy, forecasting, and inventory optimization. 

Ideal Candidate: 

• Must have 3+ years of omni-channel planning experience within lifestyle, fashion or multi-channel retail.
• Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Merchandising, Business, or related field. 
• Extremely analytical and detail-oriented, with advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, formulas, large data sets).
• A strong problem solver with a proactive, figure-it-out mindset who thrives in a fast, energetic environment.
• A natural collaborator with excellent communication skills.  
• Passion for fashion trends and consumer behavior.
• Organized, resourceful, and able to juggle multiple priorities. 
• Experience with ERP, Shopify or retail systems is a plus 

 

Salary:

The base salary range for this role is $65,000–$85,000, commensurate with experience. Actual compensation may vary based on skills and qualifications.
