Demand Planning Manager

Location: West Hollywood, CA

Imagine joining a team that takes emerging and distressed beauty brands and transforms them into household names — then hands them off to thrive independently. Our client has launched some of the hottest health and beauty brands over the past few years.   Their model is fast, chaotic, and thrilling — and they’re looking for a Demand Planning Manager who can bring clarity to the chaos.

Position Description:

As Demand Planning Manager, you’ll own the forecast across a portfolio of fast-moving consumer brands — each at a different stage of growth. You’ll partner with sales, marketing, operations and finance to turn unpredictable data (influencer buzz, retailer signals, and social trends) into actionable plans. This isn’t a “steady state” demand role — it’s for someone who thrives on constant change and can bring structure without slowing momentum.

• Build dynamic forecasts that flex with social buzz, retailer promotions, and influencer moments.
• Lead the monthly demand consensus — turning chaos into clarity for five brands moving 100 mph.
• Partner with sales, marketing, and finance to align forecasts to real-time trends and launch calendars.
• Protect margins and cash flow by anticipating supply risks and mitigating costly air freights.
• Drive continuous improvement in how data is captured, analyzed, and used for decision-making.

Who You Are:

• You love fast-paced, high-growth environments and can pivot fast without losing focus.
• You’re equal parts analytical and intuitive — you see signals where others see noise.
• You can flex your communication style from the CEO to the entry-level analyst.
• You thrive in a culture that values teamwork, transparency, and action over perfection.

Background Required:

• Highly energetic individual with at least 5 years finished goods forecasting / demand planning experience.
• Heavy experience forecasting new product introductions or products with little to no sales history.
• Experience with Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industries.
• Enjoy working in a fast-paced startup environment.
• Advanced user of MS Excel.
• Bachelors required.
• Proven track record of success in similar role.

Miscellaneous:

• Compensation $100K - $125K + bonus.
• Full benefit package including medical, dental and 401(k).
• Onsite 5 days / week.
  

If you’ve ever wanted to bring order to creative chaos — and see your forecasting shape the success of breakout beauty brands — we’d love to meet you.
