How you will make an impact :

  • Own and lead long-range and short-term Apparel supply strategies across global regions, channels, and PCC hubs.
  • Translate complex demand signals from Merchandising, Brands, Events, and Fanatics.com into optimized, executable supply plans.
  • Drive forecast accuracy improvements through advanced analytics, scenario modeling, and close partnership with Apparel Demand Planning.
  • Serve as the Apparel supply planning subject matter expert, advising leadership on risks, trade-offs, and opportunities.

Inventory & Availability

  • Ensure achievement of OTIF targets for all Apparel launches and replenishment through proactive supply risk mitigation.
  • Make strategic buy / produce / release decisions for blank Apparel and finished goods, balancing service, cost, and working capital.
  • Optimize global inventory placement, safety stock, and lead times across PCC hubs and key retailers.
  • Provide leadership visibility into inventory health, investment strategies, and turns.
  • Execution & Readiness

  • Partner with Sourcing and Manufacturing to secure capacity and flexibility across LATAM, Asia, and near-shore hubs.
  • Lead cross-functional readiness for major Apparel launches (e.g., NFL Draft, Playoffs, Rivalry Games, and International Events).
  • Collaborate with Logistics on inbound schedules, tariff implications, and last-mile fan delivery strategies.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership

  • Chair and elevate weekly 'Apparel S&OE' meetings, ensuring proactive issue resolution and senior-level visibility to risks.
  • Act as the key business partner to Merchandising, Brands, and DTC teams on high-impact Apparel strategies (player changes, rivalry games, special events).
  • Partner with Finance to influence inventory investment strategies, working capital optimization, and margin trade-offs.
  • Raise team capability and drive a culture of accountability and continuous learning.
  • Continuous Improvement & Transformation

  • Lead the use of digital twin and advanced planning tools to simulate Apparel supply chain scenarios and recommend optimal strategies.
  • Identify, prioritize, and implement process improvements that reduce lead times, increase supply flexibility, and minimize waste across all leagues.
  • Mentoring other supply planners
  • Champion global supply chain transformation initiatives tied to Apparel as part of the broader OneCommerce strategy.
  • Drive adoption of automation, AI, and advanced analytics within supply planning processes.
  • What you bring to the team :

  • Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Business, Operations, or related field; advanced degree preferred.
  • 57+ years of experience in supply planning, demand planning, or related supply chain roles, with at least 2 years in a senior or leadership capacity.
  • Proven track record of leading supply planning for complex, global product portfolios.
  • Strong analytical, strategic thinking, and decision-making skills.
  • Excellent cross-functional collaboration and influencing abilities, including experience engaging with senior leadership.
  • Expertise with advanced planning systems, scenario modeling, and digital supply chain tools.
  • Passion for sports and delivering for fans at the speed of the game.
  • What's in it for you :

  • Culture : Join a team where you're surrounded by top-tier talent, driven by a shared passion to relentlessly enhance the fan experience. With a focus on collaboration, support, and continuous development, you'll be empowered to help shape a culture that celebrates both individual and team successes.
  • Benefits : We provide a wide range of health, financial, legal, and development assistance, including wellness programs with fitness and weight management partners, paid maternity paternity leave, and infertility treatment.
