As a data-driven fashion company, we combine human intuition with algorithmic intelligence to  deliver personalized assortments – balancing creativity, analytics, and operational precision.

We’re seeking a Senior Director of Inventory & Merchandise Planning to lead Wantable’s end-to-end planning strategy, driving forecasting accuracy, inventory optimization, and financial performance across our dynamic business.

About the Role

This is a senior leadership role that will shape how Wantable plans, forecasts, and allocates  inventory to optimize both member experience and company performance. You’ll own the planning  and OTB roadmap, building the strategies, tools, and partnerships that connect member demand  with inventory flow.

You’ll also partner closely with Product Development to plan and forecast for private brands, ensuring new collections meet demand, margin, and lifecycle goals. The ideal candidate will  balance strategic foresight and operational execution, driving measurable business impact through  collaboration, analytics, and disciplined financial management.

What You’ll Do

Strategic Leadership & Vision

• Lead an integrated planning function that unites pre-season forecasting, in-season inventory  management, and long-range financial planning.
• Own Wantable’s long-range merchandise and inventory planning strategy across all  membership categories (Style, Active, Sleep & Body, Men’s).
• Drive an integrated approach to demand forecasting, inventory flow, and financial planning,  linking top-line growth with operational efficiency.
• Partner with Data Science to evolve forecasting algorithms, allocation models, and member to-SKU matching logic to improve accuracy and agility.
