Supply & Demand Planning Manager

Location: Greater Los Angeles Area (Hybrid, 2–3 days onsite; core days Wednesday & Thursday)

About the Role

We’re seeking a Supply & Demand Planning Manager to join a lean, collaborative team supporting a fast-moving portfolio of D2C beauty and wellness brands. Reporting to the Director of Supply Chain & Demand Planning, this role will play a key part in forecasting, planning, and executing inventory strategies across multiple brands, with a focus on demand planning for our direct-to-consumer (D2C) business.

You’ll partner closely with cross-functional teams—including eCommerce, Acquisition, and Finance—to translate marketing spend and performance insights into actionable supply plans. This is a highly visible, hands-on role that blends analytical rigor, strategic foresight, and strong execution within a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end demand and supply planning for D2C channels, with some support across B2B as needed.
• Review and analyze daily and weekly reports (forecast, supply planning, weeks of supply, and on-hand inventory) to identify gaps, risks, and opportunities.
• Incorporate acquisition and marketing spend data into weekly forecast adjustments; update and upload forecasts every Tuesday.
• Execute tactical adjustments such as purchase order timing, cancellations, and cost management decisions based on changing forecasts and business priorities.
• Collaborate weekly with brand teams across the organization to align on cross-brand updates, inventory needs, and upcoming product demand.
• Develop and execute strategies to optimize inventory levels, balance cash investment, and minimize backorders or stockouts.
• Manage purchase order strategy—evaluate MOQ combinations, production timing, and cost exposure.
• Partner with Finance and Operations to ensure forecast accuracy and support business decisions through robust data insights.
• Navigate between multiple systems (Oracle, NetSuite, BI tools) and out-of-system Excel models to extract, reconcile, and analyze data.
• Support business decisions in an environment that requires adaptability, curiosity, and comfort with ambiguity.
  

5–8 years of experience in Supply & Demand Planning, ideally within D2C, subscription, or direct-response environments.

Advanced Excel proficiency—must be highly skilled in advanced formulas, multi-source pivot tables, and data joins (beyond basic v-lookups and pivots).

Experience working across multiple systems (Oracle, NetSuite, BI tools); Shopify familiarity a plus.

Strong analytical mindset with the ability to move fluidly between strategic and tactical work.

Excellent interpersonal skills; able to collaborate effectively with cross-functional partners in eCommerce, Acquisition, Finance, and Operations.

Proven ability to work in a fast-moving, high-ambiguity environment and make data-driven decisions with incomplete information.

Flexible, resourceful, and curious problem solver—comfortable operating in an entrepreneurial, high-growth D2C culture.
