[Hiring] Inventory Planner @Who Gives A Crap

Role Description

We’re on the lookout for an Inventory Planner to help us keep things running smoothly. Your mission? To ensure our products are always on the shelves (or in our customers' hands) while keeping things efficient and cost-effective. You’ll be in charge of managing inventory, forecasting demand, and improving stock availability—all while working closely with our teams to streamline processes and drive continuous improvement in our supply chain.

This is a role for someone who loves problem-solving and finding smart solutions to keep things moving. You’ll get to make a real impact, balancing the day-to-day operations with long-term strategy to ensure we’re ready for whatever comes next.

If you worked here this past month here are some things you might have been involved in:

• Owning inventory supply planning, ensuring the alignment across our target weeks of stock, supplier allocation, production capacity, and freight allocation policies.
• Diving into demand and supply data to stay one step ahead, adjusting inventory strategies to avoid stockouts and keep customers happy.
• Leading the charge on cross-functional collaboration to optimize the supply chain—working closely with production, logistics, and marketing teams to get products where they need to be, when they need to be there.
• Participating in the evolution of our planning process by shortening our purchasing cycles from monthly to weekly to reduce risk of over and under stocking global warehouses.
• Redesigning and finalising parameters for our safety stock model to optimise global inventory holdings.
• Implementing an updated inventory policy for all 13 warehouses targeting compliance rates of 90% or higher.
• Delivering on the Integrated function of IBP by building weekly inventory and purchasing reports distributed to x-functional partners to help inform key decision making.
• Sharing your expertise to refine our systems, reports, and inventory policies, always looking for ways to make things better.
• Contributing to the IBP team culture by championing daily stand-ups and fortnightly sprint planning.

Qualifications

• Solid experience with inventory management, demand planning, and stock management (ideally in a Major Retail Facing or Direct to Customer setting).
• A love for data—whether that’s in Excel / Google Sheets, NetSuite ERP, or any other platform—and the ability to analyze it to drive decisions.
• Awesome communication skills, making it easy to present your insights so teams across the business can make informed choices.
• The ability to foresee challenges, work through solutions, and communicate clearly with both internal and external stakeholders.
• A passion for sustainability, and a desire to work for a company that’s making a real difference in the world.
• Adept at problem-solving and project management, with strong organisational skills in time management and prioritisation.
• Proficient in supply chain planning concepts and Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) processes.
