Demand Planner

JP Ecommerce, doing business as Bare Home, has been named one of the top-ten fastest growing businesses in Minnesota by Inc. 5000 for four consecutive years. With annual sales approaching $100 million, we are a leading eCommerce retailer committed to providing customers with high-quality bedding through our brand Bare Home. As a global player in the textile industry, we source products from key regions including China, India, Pakistan, and Turkey, while also manufacturing cotton products in the USA.

We emphasize cost-effectiveness, superior quality, and reliable availability through optimized operations and strategic partnerships.

Bare Home is hiring a Principal Demand Planner to fundamentally upgrade how we forecast, plan, and position inventory across a high-SKU, multi-channel eCommerce business. This is not a maintain-the-model role. We are looking for a senior individual contributor who owns the demand signal end-to-end — someone who will rebuild our forecasting approach, drive forecast accuracy improvements that translate directly into reduced stockouts and healthier inventory, and take the lead on our Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process.

• Own the end-to-end demand forecasting process across all SKUs, channels, and markets (USA, UK, EU, Canada) — building short-, mid-, and long-range forecasts that the business can plan and buy against with confidence
• Lead the Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process - facilitating cross-functional demand-supply alignment meetings, driving consensus between Sales/Marketing, Finance, Supply Chain, and Operations, and ensuring executive leadership has one integrated view of demand
• Drive measurable, sustained improvement in forecast accuracy at the SKU, channel, and category level — owning the metrics, the root-cause analysis, and the corrective actions
• Partner with Marketing and Marketplace teams to integrate promotional lifts, new product launches, and seasonal plans into the baseline forecast
• Translate demand signals into actionable inventory positioning recommendations that reduce stockouts, lower working capital exposure, and improve channel fill rates

• Own the demand planning platform as the system-of-record for forecasting — configuring, tuning, and continuously optimizing statistical models, safety stock logic, lead times, and replenishment parameters so the system reflects current business reality
• Lead process improvement initiatives across the planning function — identifying where manual work, tribal knowledge, or spreadsheet workarounds are creating risk, and building scalable system-based solutions in their place
• Evaluate, recommend, and help implement planning system enhancements, integrations, and workflow improvements in partnership with the Director of Supply Chain and IT
• Establish and maintain documented planning standards, cadences, and exception-management workflows so the function operates predictably and can scale with the business
• Translate forecasts into clear, defensible buy recommendations — partnering closely with Purchasing on order quantities, timing, and vendor allocation
• Work directly with the Inventory & Demand Planning Analyst and the Buyer to ensure purchase orders align with forecasted demand, promotional plans, and inventory health targets
• Monitor inventory positions across warehouses and marketplace channels (Amazon FBA/FBM, Walmart, Target, direct-to-consumer) — flagging over- and under-stock conditions and driving corrective action
• Coordinate with overseas sourcing partners in China, India, Pakistan, and Turkey to communicate demand signals, validate lead time assumptions, and surface supply risk early
• Support landed cost modeling, working capital planning, and inventory scenario analysis in partnership with Finance

• Serve as the senior planning voice in cross-functional forums — bringing clarity, a recommendation, and a defensible position, not just a report
• Present forecast performance, inventory position, and S&OP outcomes directly to executive leadership…
