Sales & Inventory Operations Planning Manager

At Parachute we are focused on creating premium, responsibly-made home essentials that fill homes with soft landings. We believe the home is an extension of one's self, it offers a sense of belonging and welcomes all with ease and warmth. Home is where we recharge, wash off the day and rest up for tomorrow. It is the most comforting word there is – that’s why they say there’s no place like it.

The unmistakable feeling of home is what inspired us to create Parachute and we invite you to join us in helping people transform a house into a home.

We're looking for people who are curious, accountable, and motivated to build something exceptional together. At Parachute, we value teammates who take ownership, adapt with optimism, challenge themselves to grow, and raise the bar for themselves and those around them. If you're energized by meaningful work, high standards, and the opportunity to make a real impact, we'd love to meet you.

Parachute Home is seeking a highly analytical Sales & Inventory Operations Planning Manager to join our Supply Chain team based in Los Angeles. This new role is responsible for the inventory reconciliation process between demand and supply planning as part of the Sales and Inventory Operations planning process, reporting to and in partnership with the Chief Supply Chain Officer. The role also leads our monthly S&IOP cadence, driving preparation discipline and meeting rigor.

This role will drive overall company inventory health, working closely with Finance, Logistics, Demand Planning colleagues to produce analysis enabling our Executive team to make decisions with confidence.

• Project-manage the monthly S&OP cadence end-to-end: own the calendar, prep deadlines, and template completion so each pillar's inputs land on time.
• Enforce meeting rigor; agendas set in advance, the right people prepped, decisions and open items logged in the cycle, so sessions run to time and produce a decision.
• Ensure ELT-ready deliverables (S&OP pack, demand bridge one-pager, decision log) are complete, reviewed and ready before each cycle; elevate gaps to the CSCO with enough lead time to fix them before they reach the ELT.
• Hold the operating rhythm's system of record; the process runs on time and at the right standard because of this role; the content of each pillar's inputs remains that pillar owner's responsibility.

• Maintain clear visibility into inventory levels, value, location, availability and overall health across products and channels (Retail, B2C and B2B).
• Own and maintain the standing inventory page (the four inventory buckets, weeks of supply, aging) as a build block of the supply-review output, not a standalone report.
• Analyze inventory productivity (weeks of supply, sell-through, aging) to identify risks, opportunities and areas requiring action.

• Execute the inventory reconciliation process between demand and supply planning inside the monthly S&OP cycle; surfacing gaps, risks and tradeoffs against the business plan, in partnership with the CSCO.
• Identify excess, slow-moving and at-risk inventory and develop fact-based recommendations; substantiate figures (e.g., Excess &Overage builds) with underlying data for CFO review.
• Establish inventory targets and ideal coverage by SKU based on demand, supply constraints, lead times and business objectives for CSCO approval.
• Track actions against agreed owners and follow through from recommendation to outcome; elevate undecided items rather than resolving them unilaterally.

• Partner with Finance to ensure accurate inventory reconciliation, valuation, and reporting across production, in-transit,…
