Join Us at Pura—Reimagining Fragrance for the Future

At Pura, we believe life is better when it smells good. Fragrance has the unique power to transform spaces, elevate moods, and create lasting memories. But we know it can do even more. That’s why we’re pioneering the future of fragrance, combining cutting‑edge smart home technology with premium, clean scents to create personalized, meaningful experiences in every home.

The Retail Demand Planner will own the end‑to‑end retail demand forecast for assigned accounts and product categories, translating account insights, historical performance, and commercial plans into clear, data‑driven demand signals. This role goes beyond maintaining a forecast; the ideal candidate will influence decisions, challenge assumptions, and help the business understand what’s driving demand, where risks exist, and how to plan ahead.

You will help us inspire a belief in the power of fragrance to craft and elevate memorable moments for our owners. This is your chance to make an impact in a high‑growth company that’s redefining the way people experience scent.
