ABOUT THE TEAM

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR
• An experienced inventory planner (5+ years) who is equally comfortable in the data and in front of stakeholders.
• Someone who can turn large, complex data sets into clear, simple stories that drive decisions.

• Support end-to-end supply and inventory planning for the consumer segment, serving as a primary point of contact for inventory planning needs.

• Maintain PO changes from factory to distribution center.
• Review purchase orders for conformance to policy.
• Deliver analysis and data storytelling for stakeholders and leadership forums.
• Act as subject-matter expert (SME) on projects.
• Drive a healthy inventory position — leverage reports and dashboards, escalate risks, and communicate delivery expectations to the consumer planning teams.
WHO WILL YOU WORK WITH
• You will report to the Supply & Inventory Planning Sport Manager.
• You will partner closely with the consumer planning teams, cross-functional supply chain partners, and factory and distribution partners to keep delivery aligned to plan.

• Strong interpersonal, influencing, and facilitation skills across cross-functional and cross-cultural partners.
• Validated analytical skills working with large data sets, with the ability to build an executive-level story.
• Tolerance for a complex, ever-changing, dynamic environment, and sound decision-making under ambiguity.
NICE-TO-HAVE
• Marketplace experience with finished products and consumer goods.
• Experience with footwear or apparel.
• SAP, S/4HANA, or similar ERP programs.
• Excel (pivot tables, formulas, macros).
