Responsibilities

Forecasting & Demand Planning

Build and maintain top-down & bottom-up forecasts by category/style/colour/size with a rolling 12-week view reflecting seasonality, timelines and marketing plans.

Track Weeks of Cover (WOC), sell-through, SOH, on-order and backorders; highlight gaps vs. targets and propose actions.

Monitor size curves by style/channel; recommend rebalances, short-size top-ups and future curve changes.

Translate demand signals (sales velocity, waitlists, influencer/collab pushes) into reorder

proposals and buy depth recommendations.

Identify trends early (winners/losers) and surface clear recommendations.

Inventory & Replenishment (In-Season)

Own Restocks & Buy Sheets; update 3x per week with latest sales, WOC, incoming ETAs and order decisions.

Maintain replenishment triggers that consider vendor lead time + safety stock; prepare draft POs for approval.

Track incoming stock against POs; reconcile ETAs/variances/splits; escalate risks or delays.

Keep core & best sellers in stock; propose substitutes or range switches when MOQs or fabric constraints appear.

Identify aged/slow movers; recommend markdowns, bundles or content pushes; ensure

high-SOH styles are actively advertised (influencers/collabs).

Work closely with Production to align WIP/ETAs so replenishment plans match reality.

Pre-Season Merchandise Planning

Assist with Open-to-Buy (OTB) budgets by month/category/channel; model scenarios and intake margin impact.

Build line/option counts, colour depth and size curve plans aligned to historicals and growth targets.

Maintain naming conventions and lifecycle statuses (incoming/active/clearance/archived).

Update systems with product information & incoming stock numbers the same day changes occur; avoid silent edits by logging changes.

Use ClickUp & Slack for task management, priorities and comms; uphold strong Google Drive hygiene.
