Inventory Planning Analyst

At UV Skinz, we don’t just sell products—we deliver peace of mind. Our mission is to protect people from the sun’s damaging rays while helping them embrace a life lived outdoors, full of fun and adventure. We create high-quality, stylish, and affordable UPF 50+ sun-protective apparel for all ages.

Our story is deeply personal. After losing her husband to melanoma at just 32, our founder turned tragedy into determination, building UV Skinz to make sun protection a top priority for families everywhere. Today, 18 years later, our brand continues to grow, fueled by purpose, innovation, and a passionate team.

Now, we’re looking for a detail-oriented, strategic Inventory Planning Analyst to play a pivotal role in managing our inventory levels, optimizing replenishment strategies, and supporting growth. If you’re ready to take on a role where your insights and analysis will drive impactful decisions, we’d love to hear from you.

What You'll Do:

In this role, you’ll work directly with the executive team and in collaboration with the merchant, providing critical analytical and operational support to:

Analyze historical and trending sales data to forecast demand and plan replenishment by SKU.
Develop pre-season and in-season analysis and inventory plans (units, sales, and margin) from the Division level through to the SKU level.
Monitor order flow quantities to support sales, optimize 3PL warehouse space plans, and hit inventory turn targets.
Support the executive team in managing optimal inventory levels while minimizing costs and stockouts, identifying chase opportunities, and resolving overstocks.
In collaboration with the merchant, align on and execute in-season pricing strategies across all sales channels.
Utilize existing tools and build new reporting and analytical tools (Excel/Sheets/Power BI) for pre-season, in-season, and post-season analysis, including but not limited to color and size analysis.
Generate and publish inventory reports and performance metrics to various levels of management.
Monitor inventory across various distribution channels and warehouses to optimize sales and inventory turn.
Assist with special assignments and ad hoc inventory analysis.

Is This You?

You’re a fixer - when something’s broken, you solve the problem instead of assigning blame.
You’re obsessed with creating a great experience, knowing it’s more important than any single product or service.
You love trying new things, embracing failures as lessons in disguise.
You trust your gut and use your intuition to make smart decisions.
Being a part of a growing company where you are carving out a newly forged path really excites you.

What We're Looking For:

We need someone who is as analytical as they are creative—someone who can dive into the data while keeping an eye on the big picture, and who is naturally curious. Our ideal candidate has:

A bachelor’s degree and 1-3 years of experience in Retail/Catalog/Internet Planning and Distribution (apparel experience required).
Previous OTB management experience preferred.
Demonstrated ability with business modeling capabilities using tools/languages such as SQL, Python, and Tableau preferred.
Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to deal with ambiguity.
Advanced Excel skills required.
Experience with Shopify (bonus points!).
Possesses strong business acumen and strategic agility, able to handle many projects simultaneously while effectively prioritizing workload.
System savvy with the ability to learn new systems/tools quickly.
Values that align with our mission to protect families and inspire outdoor living.
A positive attitude and a sense of humor (because we believe work should be fun).
