Inventory Planning & Procurement Manager
Canopy’s mission is to optimize your home for health & wellness. Since launching in 2020, Canopy has expanded its suite of innovative home products that support wellness routines for the whole family. With team members distributed across the US (California, Texas, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Illinois) and Asia (Hong Kong & China), we lead the way in reimagining home wellness through products like humidifiers, showerheads, and diffusers. Our focus is on developing standout ideas, sourcing the right materials, and defining forms that respect human sensibilities while delivering dermatologist-recommended, easy-to-use solutions for glowing skin, better sleep, and a healthier home.
About the role
Canopy is looking for an Inventory Planning and Procurement Manager to own the numbers behind our inventory: how much we need, when we need it, and where it needs to be, across every channel we sell in. You will forecast demand across DTC, Wholesale and Retail, and Amazon, set up and maintain the items and SKUs that keep our systems clean, and partner with our supply chain team to turn those forecasts into purchase orders that arrive on time. This is a hands-on role for someone who loves getting the inventory position exactly right and wants to build the planning engine that scales with Canopy. You will report to the VP of Operations and work closely with an operations team based in NYC.
Responsibilities
- Inventory Forecasting (All Channels): Own demand forecasting across DTC, Wholesale and Retail, and Amazon. Build and maintain channel-level forecasts, translate sales trends and promotions into demand plans, and keep inventory positions healthy to protect service levels without tying up cash in overstock.
- Item Setup and Management: Own item and SKU setup and maintenance across our systems, keeping product data, attributes, and identifiers accurate and consistent. Serve as the source of truth for clean item records that Operations, Finance, Sales, and Product can all rely on.
- Procurement and Purchase Order Management: Partner with the supply chain and operations teams to turn forecasts into purchase orders. Manage the PO lifecycle from placement through ready date and receipt, keeping timelines, quantities, and communication on track with our factories and partners.
- Inventory Health: Monitor stock health and accuracy across locations and channels, flagging risks early and recommending reorders, transfers, or adjustments to keep the right product in the right place.
- Systems and Reporting: Work inside a modern, AI-native tech stack (ERP, planning tools, and connected workflows) to run planning and procurement efficiently. Build clear reporting on forecast accuracy, inventory positions, and PO status, and use AI to remove manual, low-value work.
- Cross-Functional Partnership: Coordinate with Operations, Finance, Sales, and Product so planning and procurement support company priorities and everyone is aligned on inventory positions and timing.
- Process and Playbooks: Establish and maintain standard operating procedures for forecasting, item setup, and procurement so the work scales beyond any single person.
Requirements
- 5+ years of omnichannel inventory planning experience, including DTC, Retail, and Amazon.
- Strong command of demand planning and procurement, with a track record of translating forecasts across channels into purchase orders and inventory positions that avoid both stockouts and overstock.
- Hands-on experience with item and SKU setup and management, keeping product data clean and consistent across systems.
- Experience coordinating purchase orders with supply chain teams and international production partners, from PO placement through ready date.
- Comfort navigating modern, AI-native platforms, not just legacy systems like SAP or NetSuite. You are excited to work in the most modern tools and use AI to stitch workflows together.
- Strong analytical skills and comfort working in spreadsheets, planning tools, and reporting.
- Excellent cross-functional communication, able to partner with Operations, Finance, Sales, and Product and keep everyone aligned.
- A proactive, ownership mindset. You surface gaps early and build systems that scale.
