You will need to know how to forecast and adjust inventory based on sales data, work closely with the founders, inventory planner and operations manager to build out inventory needs for 3 mo, 6mo and 12 months for our omni channel sales categories: distribution ( UNFI/KeHE) Wholesale: Thrive Market and DTC/Amazon channels.  Some pain points are trying to figure out the historical sales data from distribution bridge buying patterns during OIs and building a forecast that incorporates accurate sales picture from our own omnichannels... DTC/Amazon/Distribution and Wholesale.  DTC/Amazon is about 24% of our sales revenue while distribution makes up 60+%.  The failures in the past has been that we are under forecasting.  We need someone to be able to figure this out without simply "over-buying"

Advanced Excel skills with the constant need to prepare clear and accurate informative reports is a must, understanding UNFI/KeHE and SPINS data a bonus.  

International supply chain for 2 different product categories requires that we are organized and have a deep knowledge of historical sales data in order to forecast correctly as we have longer than normal production lead times that if we are under ordering will cause major issues.  

We work with an analytics company that pulls our owned data, the data from UNFI/KeHE and our DTC/Amazon channels to measure, monitor, and forecast into a PBi dashboard.... however, we are in need of someone to make sense of it all and work with our inventory planner to create a close accurate picture of our inventory needs. 

This position is remote and is a contract to start.  The right candidate will secure a position in the short future.
