[Hiring] Global Inventory Planner @Halter

Role Description

Getting finished collars from our factories to the right market, at the right time and at the right cost, is one of the most commercially critical things Halter does. As Global Inventory Planner, you’ll make sure that doesn’t happen. You’ll own the flow of finished goods from factory to market against the plan, hold stock on hand in every market and warehouse to target, and own our international freight from factory to destination.

You’ll be deep in the details:

• Projecting where stock will be in every warehouse weeks ahead.
• Planning what ships where and when.
• Managing forwarder performance and cost.
• Spotting where a market will drift from target early enough to act.

This is a hands-on role. You’ll pick up real projects from day one and deliver them, and you’ll build the planning rhythm and discipline that make delivering to our stock policy the normal state. As Halter expands into new markets, there’s room to grow with it.

What You’ll Do

• Own the forward view of stock on hand and weeks of supply for every finished goods item, in every market and warehouse.
• Execute to our stock policy, keeping stock on hand within target for every item, market and warehouse.
• Decide what ships where, when and how, and make trade-offs between markets when supply is tight or demand moves.
• Own international freight from factory to market, including forwarder selection, volume splits, and mode and route decisions.
• Set how we split volume across forwarders to get the best price and lead time.
• Build relationships with forwarders to secure space, expedite and clear delays fast.
• Build the reporting the business trusts on inventory by market and warehouse, and on freight cost by lane, market and unit landed.
• Plan finished goods through product transitions and new market launches.

Qualifications

• Inventory planning experience for a physical product across multiple markets or warehouses.
• A strong grasp of weeks of supply, safety stock, inventory targets, and how a forecast and a production schedule turn into a shipment plan.
• Real experience managing international freight forwarders across air and sea.
• Commercial instinct using performance data and competition to get better results from providers.
• Sharp analytical skills, fluent in the data behind an inventory plan.
• Strong ownership and follow-through.
• Clear, direct communication skills.
• Low ego and comfortable with hard conversations.

Benefits

• Work that genuinely matters.
• Spectacular people solving hard problems.
• Opportunities for growth and development.
• Autonomy, mastery, and learning define how we work.
• Access to a $1,000 personal growth fund.
• Challenging and rewarding work environment.
