VP, Integrated Planning

What you’ll do

• Integrated Planning Leadership
• Design and own Tecovas’ Integrated Planning process, bringing together Demand Planning, Supply & Capacity Planning, and Retail Allocation into one cohesive function.
• Establish a planning rhythm where financial guardrails (inventory targets, working capital parameters, margin expectations, and risk tolerance) are defined early and built into the planning process from the onset, rather than applied as an after-the-fact review.
• Partner with Commercial to incorporate unconstrained demand signals while ensuring the resulting plan is feasible from both a supply and financial perspective.
• Retail Allocation & Inventory Deployment
• Own the Retail Allocation function.
• Ensure inventory is allocated effectively between the distribution center and retail stores in alignment with demand signals, financial targets, and supply constraints.
• Leverage the implementation of invent.ai to maximize the value of the tool while maintaining appropriate human oversight and exception management.
• Evolve the allocation process toward a more strategic, data-driven, and exception-based model.
• Supply & Capacity Integration
• Build and mature Supply and Capacity Planning capabilities, with a focus on incorporating vendor and factory capacity constraints into demand planning.
• Lead efforts to improve level loading, reduce order volatility, and create more feasible plans that respect manufacturing lead times.
• Establish clear linkages between demand, supply feasibility, and financial outcomes.
• Process, Governance & Performance
• Define and govern the integrated planning process, ensuring clear roles between Commercial (demand signal), Supply Chain (feasibility), and Finance (guardrails).
• Establish planning KPIs and drive accountability for forecast accuracy, inventory turns, capacity utilization, allocation effectiveness, and working capital performance.
• Build planning capability across the organization and lead change management as the function evolves.

Experience we’re looking for

• 12–15+ years of experience in demand planning, supply planning, or integrated business planning, with demonstrated success leading planning transformations.
• Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or advanced degree preferred.
• Proven experience owning or significantly influencing retail allocation or inventory deployment functions.
• Strong background in building processes that balance commercial demand, supply feasibility, and financial constraints from the beginning of the planning cycle.
• Experience leading S&OP or Integrated Business Planning processes with cross-functional governance.
• Demonstrated ability to improve inventory turns and planning effectiveness in multi-channel retail or consumer goods environments.
• Experience evaluating and implementing planning technology (or working alongside tools such as invent.ai or similar platforms).
• Strong leadership, influencing, and change management skills with the ability to operate effectively in a matrixed environment.
• Bonus points for:
• Experience in apparel, footwear, or retail with global supply chains and seasonal product lines.
• Experience building or leading planning and allocation teams.
• Familiarity with both demand planning systems and supply chain planning tools.
• Track record of improving planning in growing entrepreneurial organizations.
