The TTS Inventory & Planning Specialist (UK) owns inventory operations and assortment planning forSharkNinja'sTikTok Shop business. Partnering closely with the DTC Inventory & Planning Manager, Ops and category owners, the role keeps the channel stocked against the forecast,spotting out-of-stock risk early and pivoting into viable alternatives,while shaping the range through gap analysis, TTS exclusives and bigger bets on the products with the most upside. It is a strategic seat rather than a transactional one: building demand scenarios and bet cases that steer buy and phasing decisions, informing the revenue and SKU-level assumptions behind the forecast, and pressure-testing the plan through both a supply lens and a commercial one to protect GM% and ASP.

• OwnTTSinventory operations end to end, driven by the forecast, livedemandand commercial bets,spotting out-of-stock risk ahead of time and pivoting intoa viablealternative before sales are lost.
• Pressure-test the forecast through a supply lens,avoiding supply risk and pivoting into alternative opportunities,and pressure-test GM% and ASP to protect a healthy channel P&L.
• Partner with Ops teams, ingesting allocation and stock transfer informationand then ensuring the channel has the inventoryrequiredto achieve the forecast,keeping DTC/TTS splits aligned and closing gaps with category owners.This also includesinforming the ops teams of expected spikesto ensure warehouse and carrier capacity can be scaled.
• Identifyexcess and obsolete stock early andsupport with buildingthe plan toleverageit(bundling, live-event features,pricingor promotional mechanics),clearing ageing units through the channel while protecting margin.
• Plan launch volumes for new product introductions:sizing thelaunch quantityrequired, phasing stock to the launchstrategyand making sure the channel is covered through the critical first weeks of sell-through.
• Shape the TikTok Shop assortment strategy:identifyrange gaps, build the case forTTSexclusives and place bigger bets on the products with the most upside,then review whether those bets paid back and feed the learnings into the next round.
• Build demand scenarios and bet cases that steer range, buy and phasing decisions, andinformthe tops-down forecast target,including revenue and SKU-level assumptions and what the channel needs to comp.
• Ensure the channelhas inventory to scalelive commerce:building stock ahead of major live events and peak trading, modelling upside scenarios and making sure availability never caps a breakout moment.
• Establish clear and consistent planning cadences across the cross-functional group(weekly trade, monthly forecastreviewsand range checkpoints)so inputs land on time and decisions are made against a shared view.
• Leverage internal tools, such as PBI, and AI technology,to provide regular reporting including data visualisation on stock volumes, risk, and opportunities.

What you will have:

• Experience in sales analysis, demand planning, category management or financial analysis.
• Exposure to a fast-moving e-commerce,marketplaceor DTC channel,where demand is volatile,promotionaland event-driven rather than steady-state.
• Working knowledge of inventory planning mechanics(stock cover, allocation, phasing, launch sizing and out-of-stock mitigation),and comfort partnering with supply chain or operations teams.
• Ability to build scenario and sensitivity models:sizing upside and downside cases and translating them into a buy or phasing recommendation.
• Strong experience working with pivot tables, large datasetsand data visualisation.Abilityto translate complex data into clear, concise business insights.
• Fluency with BI and AI tools:Power BI or equivalent for reporting, and a habit of using AI to speed up analysis rather than waiting for someone else to build it.
• Commercial judgement:able to read a P&L,understand the levers behind GM% and ASP, and make a case for a bet rather than only reporting the numbers.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Proven ability toinfluence without authority:holding a cross-functional group to a planning cadence, closing gapswithcategoryownersandmaking the case for a bet to commercial and financestakeholders.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
