Executive Planning Consultant

We’re looking for a sharp, entrepreneurial Executive Planning Leader to consult with us part-time for a 2-3 month project with a commitment of 10-20 hours per week. This is a chance to make a significant impact on our business, shaping our organizational structure and helping us select and onboard an AI-driven planning tool. If you’re a scrappy, strategic leader who thrives on building and improving systems, we'd love to hear from you.

1. Planning Tool Selection and Implementation:

• Project-manage the process of finding, vetting, and onboarding a new planning tool
• Lead the evaluation of multiple potential AI-driven tools, starting with those we've already engaged with (e.g., Invent.ai, Retalon, Increff, Sage/Inventory Planner)
• Coordinate the seamless onboarding of the selected system

2. Organizational Design & Strategy:

• Advise the Director of Planning on their team's organizational structure and division of responsibilities
• Support the Chief Merchandising Officer with broader organizational design and division of responsibilities for the combined Buying and Planning functions

Requirements

You're an ideal candidate if you have:

• Significant Experience: Held a leadership position (Senior Director, VP, or similar) in planning at a medium to large-scale organization
• System Implementation Expertise: Personally led or closely supported the onboarding of a new planning tool or enterprise-level system
• Industry Knowledge: Proven experience in an omnichannel apparel and/or accessories retail environment
