The Inventory Planning & Replenishment Analyst will support daily replenishment execution while helping improve the quality of the data, reporting, and decision-making that drive inventory planning.
This role is designed for someone who can go beyond transactional purchasing. The ideal candidate should be analytical, detail-oriented, and comfortable working across Merchants, Item Master, BI/Looker, Vendors, Warehouse Operations, and Finance to identify issues, resolve exceptions, and improve inventory performance.
The role will support key inventory initiatives related to item classification, WOS targets, inventory goals, replenishment, aged inventory, overstock, GMROI, open PO visibility, and dashboard accuracy.
Responsibilities:
- Replenishment & PO Execution
- Review daily replenishment needs using WOS targets, run-rate, lead time, current inventory, open POs, backorders, and demand trends.
- Release purchase orders based on planning logic, business priorities, and exception review.
- Validate system recommendations before execution, especially for SKUs with high velocity, high value, long lead-time, demand spikes, and overstock risk.
- Monitor back-orders, stock-out risk, past-due open POs, and vendor constraints.
- Escalate issues that could impact in-stock position, service levels, inventory exposure, or merchant goals.
- Item Master & Planning Data Accuracy
- Work with Merchants and Item Master to keep planning-related item fields accurate and updated in a timely manner.
- Identify missing, outdated, or incorrect item attributes that impact replenishment, SKU classification, lead time, WOS, aged inventory, overstock, GMROI, dashboards, and planning feeds.
- Follow up on item setup issues that create inaccurate recommendations, reporting gaps, or poor inventory decisions.
- Help strengthen data governance by identifying recurring data-quality issues and recommending process improvements.
- Exception Management & Root-Cause Analysis
- Own exception review for aged inventory, overstock, past-due open POs, backorders, signal overrides, unusual demand patterns, and planning data gaps.
- Perform root-cause analysis to determine whether issues are driven by demand shifts, incorrect item setup, vendor delays, lead time changes, PO timing, merchant ownership, system logic, or execution gaps.
- Identify situations where the data may not tell the full story, including one-time sales spikes, promo lifts, new item behavior, vendor transitions, special/opportunity buys, or abnormal demand.
- Merchant & Cross-Functional Support
- Partner with Merchants to validate item-level assumptions, demand changes, product lifecycle status, vendor realities, and purchasing needs.
- Support merchant requests with data-backed inventory recommendations.
- Coordinate with Item Master, Vendors, Warehouse Operations, and Finance to resolve inventory issues.
- Own inventory-related JIRA tickets from intake through resolution, ensuring clear follow-up, ownership, and closure.
- Reporting, KPI Support & Process Improvement
- Review and support KPIs related to WOS, run-rate, inventory turns, GMROI, aged inventory, overstock, in-stock risk, backorders, and open PO performance.
- Help identify gaps between dashboard outputs, system recommendations, and actual business behavior.
- Build or support exception reporting that improves visibility and helps the team act sooner.
- Recommend improvements to replenishment logic, item setup workflows, reporting accuracy, and cross-functional follow-up.
What Will Help You Thrive:
- Experience in inventory planning, replenishment, purchasing, demand planning, retail operations, or supply chain.
- Strong understanding of WOS, run-rate, lead time, inventory turns, GMROI, aged inventory, overstock, backorders, and open PO management.
- Strong Excel skills and comfort working with large SKU-level datasets.
- Ability to analyze inventory issues, identify root causes, and recommend practical actions.
- Strong attention to detail, especially around item-level data and planning inputs.
- Ability to work cross-functionally with Merchants, BI/Looker, Item Master, Vendors, Warehouse Operations, and Finance.
- Experience with JIRA, BI tools, ERP systems, or replenishment systems is preferred.
- E-commerce, consumer electronics, or marketplace inventory experience is a plus.
Success Measures
- More accurate and timely PO execution.
- Better adherence to WOS and inventory targets.
- Improved control over aged inventory, backorders, and past-due open POs.
- Faster resolution of item master and planning data issues.
- Improved quality of replenishment inputs and dashboard outputs.
- Stronger exception management and merchant follow-up.
- Reduced manual work through better reporting, process discipline, and root-cause resolution.
This role requires three on-site days weekly to ensure in-person collaboration, improved communication, effective teamwork, and real-time problem solving to enhance team synergy and productivity. A standard 40-hour work week is expected.
