We have been retained by a rapidly growing, data-driven e-commerce company - a top Amazon and Walmart.com seller that is expanding into retail, creating a more traditional consumer products company.

• Develop data-driven models to determine optimal inventory levels, safety stock, and days of supply across a complex SKU portfolio.
• Support replenishment planning by aligning supply with demand while managing MOQ constraints, lead times, and supplier variability.
• Evaluate end-to-end supply flow to improve inventory positioning and availability.
• Segment the portfolio and define differentiated inventory and replenishment strategies.
• Perform root-cause analysis on stockouts, excess inventory, and imbalances, driving continuous improvement.
• Build and maintain analytical tools (primarily in Excel) to enhance supply planning and inventory decision-making.
• Partner cross-functionally to implement data-driven supply strategies that balance cost and service.

Background Required:

• Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field with 5+ years of experience in finished goods planning within a Consumer Products / CPG environment.
• Advanced Excel expertise required (Power Query, Power Pivot, etc.).
• Proven ability to translate data into actionable insights that influence business decisions in fast-paced, high-variability environments.

Miscellaneous:

• Compensation: $135,000 - $145,000 + bonus.
