Inventory Analyst

About the role

The Inventory Analyst keeps our stock accurate, priced right, and moving across both new and used inventory. We buy, sell, and trade thousands of clubs a month, and the value of that inventory shifts constantly with season, model year, and demand. This role sits at the intersection of data and golf equipment — you'll spend as much time in spreadsheets as you do understanding the product itself.

2nd Swing is a forward-thinking, customer-centric golf retail company. Our employees are highly valued, working hard in a positive and supportive culture. At 2nd Swing, you will find vast exposure to the golf industry, a commitment to total well-being, opportunities to discover your fit and make an impact, and a collaborative and flexible environment.

Responsibilities

• Track inventory levels, aging, and sell-through across both new and used product categories
• Monitor pricing against market comps across new and used product to keep our positioning competitive
• Use sell-through, aging, and margin data to drive pricing decisions — identify what's moving too slowly, what needs to accelerate, and where there's room to hold price
• Execute those changes end to end: set markdowns, promotions, and transfers, then measure the impact and adjust
• Analyze trade-in and buy-side data to help set acquisition values by brand, model, and condition grade
• Help plan future orders using historical sales data on comparable models and prior-season performance
• Advise buyers on order quantity, mix, and timing so we buy into the right product at the right depth
• Build and maintain reporting on turnover, margin, shrink, and stock accuracy
• Partner with store and e-commerce teams to balance inventory across locations and channels
• Flag trends — new model releases, seasonal swings, category softness

Requirements

• Minimum of 3 years in inventory analysis, merchandising, retail operations, or a similar analytical role
• Experience at a company that operates both physical retail stores and an e-commerce platform
• Hands-on experience analyzing inventory across both channels, including how stock performs differently in-store versus online
• Golf industry knowledge: familiarity with brands, model cycles, and equipment condition standards
• Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, large data sets); experience with an ERP or inventory management system
• Comfort working with imperfect data and drawing practical conclusions from it
• Ability to move fast and stay nimble — the business moves quickly and priorities can shift week to week
• Detail orientation and follow-through

Benefits

• Paid Time Off and Holidays
• 401k with eligible company match
• Health Insurance
• HSA/FSA options
• Discounted Merchandise
• Continued Training and Development
• Work Life Balance
