What You'll Do

As a Demand Planner & Inventory Analyst, you will:

• Develop and maintain demand forecasts using historical sales data, seasonality, customer trends, and market intelligence.
• Analyze inventory performance and recommend strategies to optimize stock levels while minimizing excess inventory and stockouts.
• Generate purchasing recommendations through ERP and MRP systems.
• Support supplier capacity planning and long-term inventory projections.
• Monitor key inventory metrics including forecast accuracy, inventory turns, fill rates, service levels, and inventory aging.
• Maintain inventory, forecasting, and planning data within NetSuite and other business systems.
• Create reporting dashboards, KPIs, and inventory performance analyses.
• Partner with Sales, Marketing, Finance, Product Development, Customer Service, and Operations to align inventory plans with business objectives.
• Assist with offshore sourcing forecasts, container planning, and inbound inventory management.
• Identify supply chain risks and proactively recommend solutions.

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in demand planning, inventory management, purchasing, supply chain planning, or a related analytical role.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including Pivot Tables, Lookups, reporting, and data analysis.
• Experience working with ERP and MRP systems.
• Strong understanding of inventory management principles and forecasting methodologies.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Your Weekly Rhythm

Your week runs at full throttle: Monday–Thursday you're on-site in Dahlonega, syncing quickly with partners and turning fresh inputs into crisp plans; Friday you shift remote to focus time-tightening dashboards, validating assumptions, and prepping next steps. You'll bounce between deep analysis and fast alignment: pressure-testing forecast changes, spotting where inventory is drifting, and translating the story behind the data for leaders. You'll also stay close to inbound flow-thinking ahead on long lead-time items, container timing, and how shifts in demand ripple through supply. The pace is real, the decisions matter, and your work keeps teams ready for what's next.

Why Join RefrigiWear?

• Hybrid Schedule: 4 days in-office, 1 day remote.
• Opportunity to directly influence inventory performance and business results.
• Collaborative and supportive team environment.
