If you're a data-driven sales and demand planning leader who thrives in a fast-moving consumer products environment, this is an opportunity to own forecasting strategy for a high-visibility sports apparel business. You'll directly influence inventory investment, revenue growth, and marketplace performance across Amazon and reseller channels.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Own the end-to-end sales forecast and demand plan for a large sports apparel business across Amazon and reseller channels
• Play a visible leadership role, influencing inventory investment, production priorities, and executive decision-making
• Drive strategy around major NFL selling events including kickoff, playoffs, conference championships, and the Super Bowl
• Partner across eCommerce, merchandising, production, sourcing, and inventory teams to shape business outcomes
• Leverage significant analytical depth, from team-level planning to SKU and ASIN forecasting
• Build and enhance forecasting models, reporting tools, and dashboards that improve business performance
• Help capture revenue from rapidly changing consumer demand driven by team performance and seasonal events
• Balance commercial growth opportunities with inventory productivity and profitability objectives

Key Responsibilities for the Director of Sales & Demand Planning:

• Lead annual, seasonal, monthly, and weekly sales forecasting for Amazon and reseller accounts
• Develop demand plans by team, category, style, SKU, and ASIN using sales, inventory, and market data
• Create event-driven inventory and forecast strategies around key NFL and holiday selling periods
• Identify inventory risks and recommend replenishment, production, transfer, or promotional actions
• Analyze sales, conversion, inventory availability, and marketplace performance to drive revenue growth
• Provide executive leadership with recommendations on sales outlook, inventory investment, and operational priorities

Qualifications for the Director of Sales & Demand Planning – Sports / Amazon & Resellers:

• 10+ years of experience in demand planning, sales planning, inventory planning, merchandise planning, or supply chain analytics
• Background in apparel, consumer products, retail, or eCommerce environments
• Experience managing complex SKU assortments across multiple product and seasonal dimensions
