This is a newly created role within our Supply Chain organization. The Demand Planning & Inventory Analyst serves as the connective tissue between our buyer group, customer service team, international operations, and finance — translating demand signals into inventory decisions and ensuring the right product is in the right place at the right time.

They will own the backorder process and will be the front-facing liaison to our customer service team. The role sits at the intersection of planning, operations, and customer service and requires strong cross-functional communication. This role also has a clear path to expanded ownership in analytics and supply chain strategy.

• Manage inventory positioning across all five Power Pak distribution centers, including DC transfers
• Own the end-to-end backorder process—providing timely updates to customer service, performing root cause analysis, and serving as the key liaison between supply chain and customer-facing teams
• Track hot inbound shipments and coordinate on priority receiving; maintain visibility into in-transit inventory and proactively flag risks
• Conduct regular excess and slow-moving inventory identification to support DOH reduction goals

• Play a key role in the demand forecasting process, partnering with buyers to ensure inputs reflect sales trends, seasonality, and known demand drivers
• Maintain and support item data maintenance parameters to ensure system accuracy and planning integrity
• Monitor forecast accuracy by vendor, category, and SKU—identify and correct systematic biases
• Lead the monthly forecast review cadence, with potential to expand into a formalized S&OP process

• Build and maintain the Supply Chain KPI dashboard covering linefill rate, Days on Hand (DOH) vs. target, forecast accuracy, lead time variability, and freight cost per unit
• Produce weekly and monthly performance summaries for the supply chain team and executive stakeholders
• Use Net Suite to extract, validate, and analyze inventory and purchasing data

• Serve as a key liaison between supply chain, customer service, our international team, and finance
• Coordinate closely with international team on data hygiene, PO accuracy, and reporting
• Serve as the escalation point for AP discrepancies, collaborating with Finance to resolve invoice mismatches, quantity disputes, and pricing variances
• Support buyers guide system setup and item spec sheet/tech pack maintenance

• 3+ years in supply chain, demand planning, inventory management, or a closely related analytical role
• Advanced proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets — pivot tables, VLOOKUP/INDEX-MATCH, data modeling
• Demonstrated ability to build and maintain operational dashboards and reporting tools
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills — comfortable working with large, imperfect datasets
• Clear communicator who can translate data into decisions for buyers and leadership
• Organized and self-directed — able to manage competing priorities in a fast-moving environment

• Hands-on experience with demand planning or inventory optimization software (Netstock or similar strongly preferred)
• Experience with Net Suite or a comparable ERP system
• Background in distribution or wholesale supply chain environments
• Exposure to multi-DC or multi-location inventory management

Analytical Rigor | Operational Urgency | Systems Thinker | Cross-Functional Communication | Continuous Improvement

We are a lean, high-accountability team managing inventory across five distribution centers, operating with Net Suite and Netstock. We value people who bring structure to ambiguity, take ownership without being asked, and treat data as a means to better decisions.

• 401(k) matching program
• Generous paid time off and holiday policies
