Reporting to the Manager of Supply Chain Planning, you will join a team that includes three other Planners. You will be responsible for all aspects of customer inventory supply from the flow of inventory and ensuring the fulfillment of customer orders to managing all retailer projects for new product introductions and updates from item set up through delivery to FGX facilities.

We are implementing a new approach in which you will act as a "hub" among internal and external stakeholders, including retailers, operations, sales and the commercial organization. In addition to maintaining supply at the right levels, you will coordinate new SKU introduction as we respond to consumer fashion trends.

More specifically, you will:
  • Identify and resolve supply exceptions by expediting purchase orders and re-allocating existing inventory.
  • Make purchase decisions based on target inventory levels, order fill rates and demand variables.
  • Work closely with Demand Planning to ensure demand plans are up to date and consistent with recent trends or retailer intel.
  • Work closely with the Company Distribution Center and Customer Service teams to ensure target order fill rates are being met for daily customer orders.
  • Monitor receipts and transfers in order to ensure the timely delivery and availability of product in addition to the department’s inventory plan.
  • Manage new program introductions from purchase through receipt to meet customer specifications.
  • Engage in constant dialog with the commercial team on projects' key dates and other milestones.

We run lean, meaning that you will need to be a self-starter. We'll provide training, and support is always available, but once you are up to speed you should demonstrate initiative in driving results. Because you will act as a "hub" coordinating among multiple stakeholders, you will need to be highly organized and flexible, able to change priorities while still staying on track with all your responsibilities. Attention to detail is essential.

Throughout the organization we are streamlining operations and promoting an agile, entrepreneurial culture. Those who thrive in this environment have a strong sense of accountability, and are adaptable and comfortable with a degree of ambiguity. In addition, in order to be an outstanding Supply Chain Planner, you will:
  • Take a proactive approach to building collaborative relationships with key contacts.
  • Bring high energy, perseverance and a goal orientation.
  • Keep a constant eye out for ways to improve processes and efficiencies.
  • Combine creativity and analytical thinking in solving problems and overcoming operational challenges.
  • Demonstrate a strong customer service approach as you interact with internal and external partners.
