[job_card.job_description]

Ten Little was created by two moms in collaboration with world-class physicians to support healthy development and natural movement in babies, toddlers, and kids. Ten Little’s APMA-approved shoes are designed with wide, foot-shaped toe boxes and flat, flexible soles to help little feet grow strong and move freely. With thousands of 5-star reviews and loyal fans including Meghan Markle & Prince Harry, Gayle King, Paris Hilton, Hilary Swank, Gabrielle Union, Olivia Munn, Emma Roberts, and Chrissy Teigen, Ten Little has become the trusted go-to for little feet on big adventures.

We’re looking for a data-driven, detail-oriented Associate Manager, Planning & Allocation to join our growing team. This person will own inventory planning, replenishment, and allocation across all channels—including DTC, Amazon, and new retail partners—to ensure optimal stock levels, healthy turns, and maximum sell-through. They’ll play a critical role in driving topline revenue, margin performance, and a seamless customer experience.

What you’ll do :

Planning & Forecasting

  • Build and manage demand forecasts by SKU, category, and channel (DTC, Amazon, retail).
  • Translate assortment and product launch strategies into buy plans.
  • Analyze historical performance and future trends to inform preseason and in-season forecasts.
  • Monitor sales and inventory daily to identify risks and opportunities, recommending in-season reorders or markdowns.
  • Partner with Product Development to advise on style expansion based on performance of existing styles.
  • Build reports tracking sales, turn, weeks of supply, and sell-through by channel and style.
  • Present actionable insights to leadership to drive business decisions.
  • Analyze and report on channel and product cannibalization to understand cross-channel impact, inform future assortment decisions, and optimize overall revenue performance.

Inventory Management

  • Manage replenishment and allocation strategies across warehouses, Amazon FBA, and retail partners.
  • Ensure optimal inventory positioning to support growth targets while minimizing excess and obsolescence.
  • Partner with Production and Operations on purchase order placement and delivery tracking.
  • Drive size, color, and style balance to meet sell-through goals and reduce out-of-stocks.

    • Channel Expansion Support

  • Support planning and allocation for new retail partnerships and pop-ups, ensuring adequate launch quantities.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to build scalable allocation frameworks for future retail doors.
  • Develop reporting and analytics to measure retail performance and inform future buys.

    • Who you are :

  • 3+ years of experience in retail planning, allocation, or inventory management (preferably in DTC or omnichannel environments).
  • Strong analytical and Excel / Sheets skills; experience with inventory planning tools (e.g. Singuli) a plus.
  • Demonstrated success in forecasting and replenishment for seasonal or size-intensive products (footwear experience a bonus).
  • Highly organized and proactive with strong attention to detail.
  • Excellent cross-functional communicator with a collaborative, problem-solving mindset.
  • Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-growth startup environment.

    • Compensation & Benefits :

  • Competitive annual salary of $80-90K based on experience
  • Equity options for long-term alignment and ownership
  • Comprehensive health benefits, including medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Paid parental leave and a family-friendly culture that supports parents at every stage
  • Flexible hybrid work schedule
  • Unlimited paid time off
  • 401(k) plan with employer contribution
  • Employee discounts on Ten Little products and partner brands
