Job Description

Job Description

True Classic is hiring a Wholesale Planning Manager to lead forecasting, inventory strategy, and cross-functional alignment for our fast-growing wholesale channel. This role serves as the strategic anchor of the wholesale planning function — driving data-backed decisions that optimize inventory health, margin, and partner performance. You will collaborate closely with Merchandising, Finance, and Sales to develop demand forecasts, manage open-to-buy (OTB), and shape strategies that support both our core replenishment business and seasonal growth opportunities.

This position partners with an executional counterpart who oversees day-to-day operational processes, allowing you to focus on strategic insights, scenario planning, and business partnership. If you're a builder, analytical thinker, and collaborator who thrives at the intersection of data and storytelling, this is a rare opportunity to shape the foundation of an evolving channel at scale.

Note : This is a full-time, onsite role requiring in-office presence at our Calabasas office.

Areas of Accountability

Strategic Forecasting & OTB Management

  • Lead the development and management of wholesale forecasts and OTB to deliver on financial targets.
  • Partner with Sales and Finance to align topline revenue goals with inventory investments and delivery timelines.
  • Translate insights into actionable strategies across core replenishment and seasonal assortments.
  • Build forecasting logic and tools to support more automated, accurate decision-making.

S&OP Alignment & Cross-Functional Partnership

  • Serve as the primary planning partner for Wholesale Sales, Merchandising, and Operations teams.
  • Drive bi-weekly S&OP discussions, connecting forecast, capacity, and buy plans into a single, cohesive view.
  • Collaborate with Finance to evaluate sales, margin, and cash flow impacts of planning scenarios.
  • Inventory Health & Channel Analytics

  • Monitor inventory by partner, category, and delivery window to identify risk and opportunity.
  • Recommend proactive actions (reorder, reflow, or markdown) to optimize sell-through and margin.
  • Develop consistent reporting frameworks to track KPIs such as WOS, sell-through, and in-stock rates.
  • Partnership with Planning Support

  • Provide strategic direction and oversight to executional support responsible for PO tracking, inventory reconciliation, and data management.
  • Ensure accuracy, timeliness, and consistency in reporting and handoffs between U.S. and international teams.
  • Build scalable workflows and documentation to drive continuity as the function grows.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree required.
  • 4+ years of experience in planning, forecasting, or demand management — wholesale and apparel experience required.
  • Proven success managing OTB and delivering business results in an omnichannel environment.
  • Advanced proficiency in Excel and / or planning tools (experience with statistical forecasting tools preferred).
  • Strong financial acumen and storytelling ability — able to translate data into actionable business recommendations.
  • Experience collaborating across functions.
  • Compensation and Benefits
