Supply Chain Planning & Inventory Manager (UK/Europe)

Job Description:

ATOLEA Jewelry is one of the fastest-growing women’s eCommerce jewelry brands globally, with 1,500,000+ customers across 145+ countries. Our mission is to create high-quality, affordable, and 100% waterproof jewelry that enhances our customers’ everyday lives!

We’re now scaling globally across multiple warehouses and sales channels — and building the supply chain to support it: faster delivery, higher in-stock rates, and stronger inventory efficiency.

We’re hiring a Supply Chain Planning & Inventory Manager to take full ownership of inventory forecasting, replenishment, purchasing, and warehouse allocation — and to build a world-class inventory engine that improves replenishment precision, keeps our hero products consistently in stock, and drives leaner, more efficient inventory decisions.

This is a high-impact, high-ownership role. You will own the planning engine that determines how we balance availability and inventory efficiency as we scale.

This is not an admin purchasing role. We’re looking for a sharp, proactive operator — someone who can build systems, drive execution, and make high-quality inventory decisions at scale.

This role is UK/Europe-based and remote, which puts you in the ideal window to run a global supply chain: your morning overlaps our manufacturing partners in Asia, and your afternoon overlaps our US warehouse and marketplace operations.

Key Responsibilities

Inventory Forecasting & Replenishment Ownership

  • Own inventory forecasting and replenishment planning inside Inventory Planner (our inventory forecasting & planning software)
  • Re-forecast weekly, not monthly — refresh demand, coverage and reorder decisions on a weekly cycle so we act on trends inside the month rather than reacting after them
  • Monitor sales velocity, demand trends, lead times, MOQs, and seasonality to drive accurate order sizing
  • Improve forecast accuracy over time by validating assumptions, reviewing forecast errors, and implementing structured overrides
  • Forecast and plan recurring subscription products, where a rolling monthly assortment calendar drives committed volumes ahead of each drop
  • Maintain high in-stock performance on hero products while improving overall inventory efficiency

Component & Bill-of-Materials Planning

  • Plan personalised and made-to-order products at component level, not finished-goods level — ring bases and stones, letter and initial charms, birthstones, chains and clasps
  • Build demand curves for individual components (letter frequency, ring size curves, birthstone mix) and reorder against component coverage, not product coverage
  • Treat component stockouts as first-class risks: a single missing stone or size halts an entire made-to-order line

Purchasing, PO Execution & Supplier Follow-Through

  • Convert forecasts into clear PO quantities by SKU and vendor
  • Own the purchasing workflow end-to-end: supplier coordination, confirmations, production timelines, updates, and follow-ups
  • Hold full visibility on every open PO: track each against its committed date, verify production status directly with the supplier, and flag slippage early rather than at the point of impact
  • Negotiate unit costs, discounts and terms with manufacturing partners where volume or timing gives us leverage
  • Maintain a clean production + inbound calendar with projected receiving dates and shipment milestones
  • Identify risks early (delays, MOQ constraints, slow movers) and proactively drive solutions

Multi-Warehouse Allocation, Amazon FBA & Freight

  • Manage inventory allocation across multiple warehouses to optimize availability, speed, and working capital
  • Own Amazon FBA inbound end-to-end: shipment creation and booking, prep and labelling compliance, inbound scheduling, and replenishment against FBA sell-through
  • Define and maintain regional assortment strategies, and continuously evaluate which products require regional stocking vs centralized fulfillment
  • Plan and execute stock transfers accurately and on schedule; ensure warehouse rules stay correct (lead times, transfer logic, replenishment settings)
  • Support freight decisions (sea vs air) based on urgency, cost, and demand planning, and coordinate with freight partners to keep shipments on schedule

Packaging & Consumables Planning

  • Forecast and replenish packaging and consumables alongside product — boxes, mailers, pouches, leaflets, inserts and gift packaging
  • Plan these against the same demand curve as jewelry, accounting for their longer lead times, higher MOQs and heavier freight profile

New Product Launch Stock Readiness

  • Own stock readiness for every product launch and collection drop: stock received, counted, allocated and live in Shopify ahead of launch, not on the day
  • Ensure inventory is accurately reflected before VIP early access and public launch, with oversell settings configured correctly

Inventory Data Accuracy & Systems Hygiene

  • Keep Shopify, Inventory Planner and our 3PL systems in agreement; own reconciliation as a standing weekly task, not a periodic clean-up
  • Investigate and resolve negative stock, sync failures, and quantity mismatches at source
  • Maintain planning hygiene: non-replenishable and discontinued lists, held or delisted product, quality-hold stock, and clean vendor and SKU planning attributes

Stock Health, Efficiency & Discontinuation Discipline

  • Identify and act on overstock risk, slow movers, dead stock, and discontinuation candidates
  • Recommend actions such as stop-reorders, controlled discounting/bundles, liquidation, and retirement timelines
  • Build repeatable decision rules and thresholds so inventory discipline becomes systematic, not reactive

Weekly Cadence & Reporting

  • Run a weekly inventory health and replenishment decision loop, ensuring hero SKUs stay consistently in-stock while maintaining lean, disciplined inventory levels
  • Monitor inventory performance daily (sales velocity, inbound status, stock coverage, risk signals) and escalate issues early
  • Deliver a monthly executive summary on inventory performance, key risks, and planning improvements

Key Qualifications & Success Traits

  • 5+ years experience in inventory planning, demand planning, or supply chain planning
  • Experience forecasting + purchasing for a multi-SKU consumer brand (ideally DTC/eCommerce)
  • Strong fluency with inventory planning systems (Inventory Planner or similar tools like NetSuite, Anaplan, Cin7, etc.) and the ability to ramp into Inventory Planner fast
  • Strong Excel / Google Sheets skills (you can model, audit, and validate forecasts independently)
  • Comfortable operating inside Shopify (SKUs, variants, inventory levels, sales trends, product catalog structure)
  • Experience planning at component/BOM level for configurable, personalised or made-to-order products
  • Hands-on experience creating and booking Amazon FBA inbound shipments
  • Highly proactive — you push work forward, anticipate risks early, and don’t require follow-ups to deliver
  • Fast-moving — you solve problems quickly and efficiently rather than parking them. When something surfaces, you move on it the same day: resolve it where you can, and where you can’t, get it moving with a clear next step
  • Extremely detail-oriented + strong follow-through
  • Strong communicator who drives solutions fast
  • Owner mindset — you treat inventory as one of the highest leverage profit levers in the business

Why Join ATOLEA?

  • Own one of the highest-leverage operational engines in the business — inventory planning drives revenue, cash efficiency, and customer experience
  • Build a world-class forecasting + replenishment system that scales globally while keeping hero products consistently in stock
  • Work directly with leadership and shape how planning decisions are made as we grow
  • Join a brand with 1,500,000+ customers across 145+ countries, and build the supply chain foundation for its next stage of growth
