Description

WHY JOIN ALO? Mindful movement. It’s at the core of why we do what we do at ALO—it’s our calling. Because mindful movement in the studio leads to better living. It changes who yogis are off the mat, making their lives and their communities better. That’s the real meaning of studio-to-street: taking the consciousness from practice on the mat and putting it into practice in life. OVERVIEW We are looking for an analytical and fashion-savvy Merchandise Planner to drive sales and maximize profitability through strategic inventory and financial planning. In this role, you'll partner closely with buying, merchandising, and allocation teams to forecast demand, optimize stock levels, and align product strategies with fashion trends and seasonal cycles. You’ll play a key role in ensuring the right products are available in the right quantities, at the right time, and in the right locations. RESPONSIBILITIES Develop and execute seasonal and long-term merchandise financial plans aligned with company goals. Analyze past sales, market trends, and fashion forecasts to project demand and build assortment plans. Collaborate with buyers to translate the brand vision into balanced and data-driven inventory strategies. Manage in-season performance by tracking sales, markdowns, and inventory turnover; make agile adjustments as needed. Create detailed OTB (Open-to-Buy) plans and monitor performance against budget. Partner with allocation teams to ensure accurate product flow across channels (e-commerce, retail, wholesale). Provide reporting and actionable insights to support buying decisions and inventory optimization. Support markdown strategy and promotional cadence to drive margin and sell-through targets. Contribute to end-of-season reviews and post-mortems for future planning improvements. QUALIFICATIONS Bachelor’s degree in Economics, Business, Finance, or a related field. 2–4 years of experience in merchandise planning, inventory management, or retail planning (fashion industry preferred). Strong understanding of retail dynamics including seasonal cycles, trend forecasting, and assortment planning. Advanced Excel skills; experience with retail planning tools (e.g., Anaplan, JDA, Oracle, SAP, or similar). Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills. Ability to work cross-functionally and thrive in a fast-paced, trend-driven environment. PREFERRED EXPERIENCE Experience working with both brick-and-mortar and e-commerce channels. Familiarity with KPIs like GMROI, turn, sell-through, and weeks of supply. Background in women’s or men’s apparel, footwear, or accessories. Prior managerial experience is preferred. The base salary range for this position is $100,000 -$120,000 per year which represents the current range for the base salary for this exempt position. Please note that actual salaries will vary based on factors including but not limited to location, experience, and performance. As such, on occasion and when applicable, there is the possibility that the final, agreed-upon base salary may be outside of the upper end of the range. Please also note the range listed is just one component of the company’s total rewards package for exempt employees. Other rewards may include performance bonuses, long term incentives, a PTO policy, and many other progressive benefits. #LI-ONSITE For CA residents, Job Applicant Privacy Policy HERE.
