Babylist is seeking an Inventory Planner to own replenishment and order writing for the Furniture and Monitors categories.

You will report to Division 3 Planning and collaborate closely with Merchandising, Supply Chain, and Finance to maintain category health.
Key responsibilities include:
- Execute replenishment and order writing across Furniture and Monitors, keeping inventory aligned to forecast and in-stock targets
- Manage a dropship vendor base, tracking availability, coordinating delivery timing, and resolving discrepancies before they impact customers
- Own monthly Open-to-Buy inputs including trend analysis, risk flags, and forecast updates
- Deliver weekly sales and inventory recaps with actionable insights for the planning team
- Build pre-season inventory forecasts at category, brand, and SKU levels
- Track out-of-stocks and discontinued items, proactively communicating risk to internal partners
- Partner with Merchandising on new product introductions and assortment changes
