Come join us as Inventory Planning Manager (Fulltime).

The Inventory Planning Manager governs the planning process, systems, and analytics to deliver a reconciled demand plan, OTB alignment, and a supply plan that activates purchases to drive product through to ATS. Unconstrained demand is built bottom‑up at regional/channel level, constraint is applied top‑down, and consensus reconciles both into the S&OP; cycle. This role is the engine that drives planning through the control towers, ensuring commercial guardrails, inventory readiness, and timing alignment are achieved.
