Assistant Planner

Boody is on the hunt for a new Assistant Planner to join our incredible Finance team!

This role supports the Merchandise Planning function by maintaining accurate data, monitoring product performance, forecasting and providing analysis that informs commercial decisions. The role suits someone who is curious and proactive, with a genuine interest in uncovering insights and turning them into recommendations that drive smart trade decisions, helping to ensure the right product is available in the right place at the right time, backed by thoughtful and insight-led planning.

This role has the potential to be either Full Time or Part Time, depending on experience.

What is this role all about?

• Manage and update never out of stock (NOOS) products, ensuring forecasts and stock flows are continually refined based on trade performance and evolving business priorities.
• Monitor stock availability across all regions and channels, preparing and communicating weekly out-of-stock reports that highlight risks and recommend actions to prevent under- or over-stock issues.
• Communicate daily trade performance to the Merchandise Planner and key stakeholders, capturing sales against plan, key drivers, and emerging trends.
• Support seasonal planning by preparing historical analysis and data required for range reviews.
• Track and analyse the performance of new product launches, reviewing early indicators, velocity, channel performance, and regional patterns.
• Perform size curve analysis to ensure size forecasts are accurate and to guide sizing decisions for new product launches.
• Maintain SKU level reports and dashboards to support trade decisions, forecasting, and stock management decisions.
• Collaborate closely with the production team to adjust purchase orders based on forecasting insights and guidance from the Merchandise Planner.
• Complete ad hoc analysis requested by the Merchandise Planner or key stakeholders, presenting findings clearly and proactively.
• Ensure system accuracy by maintaining correct SKU data, hierarchy, costing, and category structures across planning tools and other internal systems.

We’re looking for:

• 2 – 3 years experience in merchandise planning, ideally in an FMCG or retail/eCommerce environment.
• Exposure to forecasting and inventory management.
• Any experience with range planning, OTB support, or NOOS management is advantageous but not essential.
• Advanced Excel skills with the ability to work confidently with large datasets, build complex reports, and maintain dashboards.
• Strong numeracy and analytical capability with the ability to interpret data and translate insights into recommendations.
• Highly organised and adaptable, with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple tasks in a fast paced environment.
• Confident communicator who can present data clearly and work cross functionally.
• Comfortable working with high SKU counts and high volume data.

Why choose Boody?

Join the team to drive our vision of setting a new standard for how great products feel and how great brands behave. At Boody, you can expect:

• A great office location on Crown Street, Surry Hills.
• The opportunity to do meaningful, purpose-driven work for a B-Corp organisation.
