• Maintain and update planning trackers, dashboards, and shared documents
• Assist with purchase order reconciliation and inbound/outbound flow tracking
• Execute routine system transactions and data entry tasks accurately and on schedule
• Perform root cause analysis on inventory variances including overstock, out-of-stock, and shrink situations
• Support demand signal analysis and seasonal planning data preparation
• Draft and distribute mass communications to stores on behalf of the planning team
• Triage and troubleshoot tickets submitted by stores and customers, escalating issues as appropriate
• Collaborate with planning managers to ensure timely and accurate posting and uploading of files

Skills:

• Strong data entry skills with a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail
• Ability to think systematically and manage complex, multi-source data in an organized manner
• Proficiency with enterprise planning or ERP systems such as SAP, MRP, or similar platforms
• Solid understanding of inventory metrics and supply chain fundamentals
• Ability to build and maintain reports, dashboards, and planning trackers
• Strong written communication skills for drafting clear, professional store-facing communications
• Comfort raising concerns, flagging red flags, and escalating issues proactively
• Curiosity and adaptability when learning new systems and processes
• Ability to meet deadlines consistently while maintaining quality and accuracy of output
• Collaborative mindset with the ability to work effectively alongside senior planners and managers

Experience:

• Prior experience in data entry and/or data analysis is required
• Background in inventory planning, supply chain, logistics, or purchasing is required
• Experience working with ERP or planning systems such as SAP or MRP or similar is strongly preferred
