Senior Demand Planner

Full-time - Mid Level

San Francisco, CA

About the position

You’re here because you have an uncanny ability to predict the future. Not with a crystal ball, but with spreadsheets, sales data and an almost freakish intuition for knowing when people are gonna buy our gear. Your mission? To make sure we have just the right amount of stuff at just the right time—so our customers don’t rage-tweet us when their dream backpack is out of stock. You’ll work with various teams in sales, marketing, product and operations to keep things running smoother than a jazz saxophonist on a Friday night.

Responsibilities

• Stare deeply into sales data and define the future of demand with eerie accuracy.
• Play nice with the sales, marketing, and operations teams to make sure we have just enough (but not too much) of everything.
• Identify risks to prevent catastrophic stockouts and overstock situations.
• Analyze trends, market data, and customer behavior.
• Work closely with the finance and operations team so our logistics game stays tight.
• Develop forecasting models to support all the new products that we’re making.
• Use software like Netsuite and Excel to make data-driven decisions.
• Report on key metrics like forecast accuracy and inventory turnover.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of experience in demand planning and forecasting, ideally in consumer goods, retail, or outdoor gear.
• Great analytical skills and a true appreciation for spreadsheets.
• Experience with demand planning software like Netsuite, Sage or equivalent.
• The ability to explain complex data insights to normal humans.
• A keen eye for trends and an unrelenting drive to get better at predicting them.
• A love for adventure, sustainability, and doing business in a way that doesn’t make the world worse.
• Local to the San Francisco Bay Area or willing to relocate for this role.

Benefits

• Catered lunch in the office on Tuesdays.
• Flexible work schedule with a minimum of 2-3 days in the office.
