Merchandise Planner, Box

About the role

FabFitFun is seeking a Merchandise Planner to join our Merchandising team! In this role, you will own the financial planning and inventory strategy for our Seasonal Box and Monthly Beauty Box businesses. You’ll work cross-functionally with Operations, Site Merchandising, Warehouse, Marketing and Buyers to manage pre-season and in-season plans, drive inventory health, and support the broader Merch Strategy team. This is a high-impact individual contributor role for a detail-oriented, analytically strong planner who thrives in a fast-paced, subscription-based retail environment, communicates with clarity across all levels of the organization, and is excited by a planning function that looks very different from traditional retail.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end financial planning and inventory strategy for the Seasonal Box and Monthly Beauty Box– managing pre-season plans, in-season OTB, and post-season recaps across both businesses
• Monitor weekly inventory performance and address inventory concerns, partnering with Ops, Site Merch, Warehouse, and Marketing on depletion strategies.
• Navigate the operational complexity of subscription box execution — including coordination across fulfillment, marketing, and site teams on tasks that sit outside traditional planning scope, but are critical to box success.
• Partner with Buying and Merch Strategy on assortment and category decisions, bringing a financial and inventory lens to pre-season planning conversations
• Maintain planning files and systems to support the Merch Strategy and total Planning teams, holding a high bar for accuracy, consistency, and process improvement.
• Support Merchandising team and cross-functional partners with analysis and business decisions as needed

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience, with 4+ years of experience in Merchandise Planning and/or Buying.
• Strong Excel skills required; experience with planning or inventory systems preferred.
• Deep proficiency in retail math, OTB management, and inventory planning, with demonstrated ability to manage sales, margin, and inventory targets and reconcile plans to actuals in-season.
• Proven ability to collaborate cross-functionally with Finance, Ops, Buyers, Warehouse, and Marketing.
