Merchandise Planner

Hi there, we’re Article. 👋 Since 2013, we have been redefining the furniture industry one sofa at a time. It’s not easy — it requires solving challenging, meaningful problems. This is where you come in. As a  Merchandise Planner, you'll own the end-to-end planning cycle for your assigned categories, aligning inventory investments with sales goals to ensure our customers always find the products they love in stock. 

On the team, we balance sales velocity, stock availability, and financial performance across all our sales channels. This fits into our larger need to scale our product offerings profitably, preventing costly stockouts or overstock situations while maximizing Open-to-Buy efficiency as Article continues to grow.

Within the first few months, you’d establish accurate SKU-level forecasts and reconcile top-down financial goals with bottom-up inventory strategies. In a year, you’ll be proud to say you’ve optimized the inventory health of your assigned categories, directly driving bottom-line growth through data-backed Open-to-Buy management and seamless cross-functional alignment.

We are a collaborative, data-driven team that bridges the gap between financial targets and physical inventory. We work closely with Category Management, Sourcing, Order Management, and Finance to ensure our assortment strategy comes to life seamlessly. We leverage tools like Excel/Google Sheets, Tableau, and modern planning platforms (such as SAP IBP, Blue Yonder, John Galt, or Anaplan) to translate complex metrics into clear strategies.

We are a hybrid team - you'll be in the office 3 days per week.
