Senior Retail Forecast & Replenishment Analyst

About the role

Grüns retail is scaling fast, and we're looking for a sharp Senior Retail Forecast & Replenishment Analyst to optimize supply chain performance and strengthen our relationships with key retail partners. This is a build role: you're establishing CPFR infrastructure for the Drug channel from the ground up, directly owning retailer relationships and day-to-day execution - with clear line-of-sight impact on some of the most important launches in Grüns' history. As we continue to expand across retail, so will your scope.

This role is part of our remote HQ! We have a fully remote, high-trust work environment - and also come together on a biannual basis for amazing off-sites where we can connect IRL. 

In this role, you will:

• Own end-to-end forecasting and replenishment for the Drug channel (CVS, Walgreens), including weekly demand planning, inventory monitoring, and retailer collaboration
• Serve as Grüns' primary point of contact with CVS and Walgreens inventory teams - building and managing bi-weekly cadence calls and owning the retailer relationship directly
• Establish a store audit and execution process - ensuring best-in-class store coverage at launch and driving swift issue resolution
• Monitor retailer POS and external forecast accuracy, flagging variances and leading root cause analysis when metrics drift
• Lead pre and post-analysis on all promotional activity to quantify lift, identify forecast gaps, and sharpen future planning
• Partner cross-functionally with Sales, Ops, and Analytics to align internal production plans with external retailer demand
• Expand CPFR coverage across additional retail channels as the business scales beyond Drug

We're looking for someone who:

• Has 2–4 years of experience in CPFR, demand planning, replenishment, or supply chain - with direct exposure to major retail accounts
• Has a track record of owning external retailer relationships directly - influencing replenishment decisions, managing forecast adjustments, and driving execution with retailer inventory teams
• Is proficient in Excel and Google Sheets, and comfortable building reporting and planning infrastructure in lean, scrappy environments
• Has managed forecasting at the retailer/SKU level and can speak to specific forecast accuracy metrics they've owned
• Has experience supporting or owning a retail launch - not just steady-state replenishment, but the execution demands of a new distribution set
• Drug channel experience (CVS, Walgreens) is a plus, particularly familiarity with their inventory systems and portals
• Holds a Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain, Retail Management, or a related field

Approach to the role:

• On-shelf availability is non-negotiable for you - you monitor, flag, and act before a stockout has a chance to land
• You're high-agency - you don't wait to be told there's a problem, you build the systems that surface problems before they happen
• You communicate complex supply chain data clearly to retail partners and internal stakeholders alike - you know how to translate a forecast variance into a story with an action plan
• You're energized by ambiguity and early-stage build work - the fact that the playbook doesn't exist yet is an opportunity, not a blocker
• You're already thinking about how AI tools can extend your bandwidth and make your forecasting and reporting sharper
