Senior Manager, Planning

What the Role Is As a Divisional Senior Planning Manager at Babylist, you’ll own the financial and inventory strategy for a full division of our e-commerce business—directly shaping how we invest, where we take risk, and how we deliver for millions of families. This is a leadership role within Planning where you’re accountable not just for hitting your numbers, but for how decisions get made. You’ll set the standard for how planning shows up as a strategic partner to Merchandising and a driver of company performance.

Your day-to-day sits at the intersection of analytics, judgment, and influence. You’ll lead your team through forecasting, OTB, and in-season management, while personally engaging in the highest-leverage decisions—where to lean in, where to pull back, and how to respond when the business shifts. You’ll operate in close partnership with Merchandising, bringing a clear point of view and engaging in real debate to get to better outcomes.

At the same time, you’ll work across Finance, Supply Chain, and Operations to ensure plans hold up in execution—not just in spreadsheets. This role requires strong perspective and comfort with ambiguity. If you’ve primarily executed within well-defined planning frameworks, relied on historical trends without challenging them, or avoided tension in cross-functional decision-making, this will be a difficult seat.

You’ll be expected to step in, raise the level of thinking, and influence beyond your direct scope—even when the answer isn’t obvious.
