Wholesale Planning Manager

Wholesale Planning Manager

True Classic is hiring a Wholesale Planning Manager to lead forecasting, inventory strategy, and cross-functional alignment for our fast-growing wholesale channel. This role serves as the strategic anchor of the wholesale planning function driving data-backed decisions that optimize inventory health, margin, and partner performance.

You will collaborate closely with Merchandising, Finance, and Sales to develop demand forecasts, manage open-to-buy (OTB), and shape strategies that support both our core replenishment business and seasonal growth opportunities. This position partners with an executional counterpart who oversees day-to-day operational processes, allowing you to focus on strategic insights, scenario planning, and business partnership.

If you're a builder, analytical thinker, and collaborator who thrives at the intersection of data and storytelling, this is a rare opportunity to shape the foundation of an evolving channel at scale.

• Collaborate with Finance to evaluate sales, margin, and cash flow impacts of planning scenarios.
• Monitor inventory by partner, category, and delivery window to identify risk and opportunity.
• Recommend proactive actions (reorder, reflow, or markdown) to optimize sell-through and margin.
• Develop consistent reporting frameworks to track KPIs such as WOS, sell-through, and in-stock rates.
• Provide strategic direction and oversight to executional support responsible for PO tracking, inventory reconciliation, and data management.
• Ensure accuracy, timeliness, and consistency in reporting and handoffs between U.S. and international teams.
