• Lead scenario and sensitivity analyses to support planning under uncertainty, including capacity constraints, demand volatility, and cost changes
• Set inventory targets and quantify working capital impact, supporting leadership decisions on build-ahead, stock risk, and service levels

• Develop and maintain revenue and product dashboards and KPIs to support leadership decision-making
• Ensure a clear single source of truth for revenue, COGS, inventory, and operating assumptions
• Provide ad hoc analysis for growth initiatives, new product launches, and operational improvements

• 5–7+ years of experience in Planning, Operations, Brand Finance or a related role, ideally in a startup or high-growth environment.

• Strong business judgment and ability to operate independently with limited structure
• Clear communicator who can influence across functions
