THE PURPOSE: The Ecomm Planner is responsible for driving the financial performance of True Religion’s ecommerce channel by developing and managing the Open-to-Buy, Seasonal Buys, and Assortment Plans for Men’s & Kids on a seasonal, semi-annual, and annual basis. This role aligns merchandise plans by division, department, and class with the company’s financial budgets and objectives.

  • Develop Seasonal Buy and Assortment Strategies: Build seasonal buy strategies and assortment plans by product category. Partner closely with the buying team to project product potential and life cycle, using historical data and current trend analysis to set benchmarks around growth, maintain, or declining categories.

Monitor inventory and markdown levels to ensure target weeks-on-hand are maintained and markdowns move through at a profitable pace.
  • Support Ecommerce Execution and Marketing Alignment: Work alongside the Ecommerce team to ensure promotions are executed correctly, product pages support all promotional activity, and the site and marketing strategy are aligned to achieve financial sales goals. Collaborate with marketing teams on the email marketing calendar and pricing and promo strategies.
  • Run Weekly Reporting and Chase Analysis: Assist in running weekly reports, analyze results to identify trends, and communicate chase opportunities to the buying team. Partner with production as needed to ensure delivery dates are on track to support business needs.
YOU ARE: You bring a strong combination of ecomm merchandise planning expertise and analytical rigor, with a proven track record in Open-to-Buy management, inventory turn, and gross margin optimization. You are comfortable operating in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment, take ownership of your forecasts and financial outcomes, and approach challenges with both data-driven precision and a sharp commercial instinct. You thrive in ambiguity, communicate proactively with business partners, and bring a genuine passion for product and trend.
