Supply Chain Planning & Inventory Manager
Direct message the job poster from Atolea Jewelry
ATOLEA Jewelry is one of the fastest-growing women’s eCommerce jewelry brands globally, with 1,000,000+ customers across 145+ countries. Our mission is to create high-quality, affordable, and 100% waterproof jewelry that enhances our customers’ everyday lives!
We’ve grown rapidly through strong product‑market fit, operational discipline, and community trust — and we’re now entering our next chapter: scaling globally across multiple warehouses and sales channels and building a world‑class supply chain that supports faster delivery, higher in‑stock rates, and stronger inventory efficiency.
We’re hiring a Supply Chain Planning & Inventory Manager to take full ownership of inventory forecasting, replenishment, purchasing, and warehouse allocation — and to build a world‑class inventory engine that improves replenishment precision, keeps our hero products consistently in stock, and drives leaner, more efficient inventory decisions.
This is a high‑impact, high‑ownership role. You will own the planning engine that determines how we balance availability and inventory efficiency as we scale.
This is not an admin purchasing role. We’re looking for a sharp, proactive operator — someone who can build systems, drive execution, and make high‑quality inventory decisions at scale.
Key Responsibilities
Inventory Forecasting & Replenishment Ownership
- Own inventory forecasting and replenishment planning inside Inventory Planner (our inventory forecasting & planning software)
- Monitor sales velocity, demand trends, lead times, MOQs, and seasonality to drive accurate order sizing
- Improve forecast accuracy over time by validating assumptions, reviewing forecast errors, and implementing structured overrides
- Maintain high in‑stock performance on hero products while improving overall inventory efficiency
Purchasing & PO Execution
- Convert forecasts into clear PO quantities by SKU and vendor
- Own the purchasing workflow end‑to‑end: supplier coordination, confirmations, production timelines, updates, and follow‑ups
- Maintain a clean production + inbound calendar with projected receiving dates and shipment milestones
- Identify risks early (delays, MOQ constraints, slow movers) and proactively drive solutions
Multi‑Warehouse Inventory Allocation
- Manage inventory allocation across multiple warehouses to optimize availability, speed, and working capital
- Define and maintain regional assortment strategies to ensure the right products are stocked in the right regions
- Continuously evaluate which products require regional stocking vs centralized fulfillment based on demand signals
- Plan and execute stock transfers accurately and on schedule
- Ensure warehouse rules are maintained correctly (lead times, transfer logic, replenishment settings)
- Identify and act on overstock risk, slow movers, dead stock, and discontinuation candidates
- Recommend actions such as stop‑reorders, controlled discounting/bundles, liquidation, and retirement timelines
- Build repeatable decision rules and thresholds so inventory discipline becomes systematic, not reactive
Weekly Inventory Cadence
- Run a weekly inventory health and replenishment decision loop, ensuring hero SKUs stay consistently in‑stock while maintaining lean, disciplined inventory levels
- Monitor inventory performance daily (sales velocity, inbound status, stock coverage, risk signals) and elevate issues early
- Flag and resolve risks proactively (supplier delays, demand spikes, stock imbalances) and drive corrective action quickly
- Deliver a monthly executive summary on inventory performance, key risks, and planning improvements
Freight Planning & Supply Chain Coordination
- Support freight decisions (sea vs air) based on urgency, cost, and demand planning
- Coordinate with freight partners and internal ops to ensure shipments arrive on schedule
- Improve lead time accuracy over time and maintain clean vendor and SKU planning attributes
Key Qualifications & Success Traits
- 3+ years experience in inventory planning, demand planning, or supply chain planning
- Experience forecasting + purchasing for a multi‑SKU consumer brand (ideally DTC/eCommerce)
- Strong fluency with inventory planning systems (Inventory Planner or similar tools like NetSuite, Anaplan, Cin7, etc.) and the ability to ramp into Inventory Planner fast
- Strong Excel / Google Sheets skills (you can model, audit, and validate forecasts independently)
- Comfortable operating inside Shopify (SKUs, variants, inventory levels, sales trends, product catalog structure)
- Confident managing MOQs, lead times, reorder points, multi‑warehouse allocation + transfers, SKU‑level forecasting and replenishment decisions
- Highly proactive — you push work forward, anticipate risks early, and don’t require follow‑ups to deliver
- Extremely detail‑oriented + strong follow‑through
- Strong communicator who escalates risks early and drives solutions fast
- Owner mindset — you treat inventory as one of the highest leverage profit levers in the business
- Experience planning inventory for Amazon / FBA (prep, sell‑through, replenishment)
- Experience supporting Wholesale forecasting + order planning
- Experience in a fast‑scaling DTC brand with high‑SKU and multi‑warehouse planning complexity
- Familiarity with 3PL operations (inbound scheduling, transfers, inventory accuracy, receiving)
- Experience building forecast overrides / seasonal planning rules (knowing when to trust the model vs. correct it)
Why Join ATOLEA?
- Own one of the highest‑leverage operational engines in the business — inventory planning drives revenue, cash efficiency, and customer experience
- Build a world‑class forecasting + replenishment system that scales globally while keeping hero products consistently in stock
- Work directly with leadership and shape how planning decisions are made as we grow
- Join a brand with 1,000,000+ customers across 145+ countries — and help build the supply chain foundation for the next stage of growth
