Job DescriptionJob Description

About Branch

Branch is shaking up the $46B office furniture industry to create an office experience for the 21st century: easy, affordable and flexible so you can sit down (or stand) and get to work.

We're based in NYC and backed by the investors behind household brands like Quip, Caraway and Peloton. Our founders arrive with experience in partnerships, real estate acquisitions and venture building at leading real estate companies like Oxford Properties, SL Green and Redfin. 

We’re an ambitious group of problem solvers innovating across software, design and logistics, and we’re looking for entrepreneurial teammates who like a challenge.

The Role

We’re looking for a Forecasting & Analytics Manager to lead demand forecasting and inventory optimization for Branch, including our DTC channel, B2B channel, current and upcoming wholesale channels, new product launches and more.

In this role, you will be instrumental in developing, maintaining and improving foundational models in Excel and other tools to forecast demand for our catalog, incorporating factors like seasonality, lead times, marketing initiatives, inventory turns and more. You’ll define workflows across the entire team, from growth to operations and product development, to populate these models with the right assumptions and identify the profit-maximizing inventory level for each product and SKU. You’ll own forecasting for new products and channels as we expand our assortment and omni-channel effort. Finally, you’ll review your own results, iterate to reduce error, and report on key metrics for inventory health, helping optimize assortment and process to help our business grow.

Reporting directly to the COO, this is a mission-critical role that impacts two of our biggest priorities: ensuring our customers get the products they want fast, and improving our efficiency and financial results. We’re especially excited about folks with demand planning backgrounds at exceptional ecommerce companies, but if you’re a wizard at analytical thinking, leave no stone unturned in solving tricky problems, and love building Excel models that are as elegant to use as they are robust, we’d love to meet you.

Day To Day

  • Work cross functionally with sales and growth to own the sales and operations planning (S&OP) process, including forecasting, demand planning and procurement
  • Build and refine foundational models for demand forecasting, incorporating program and product-level features like lead times, inventory velocity, promotional plans and seasonality to project the profit-maximizing purchase for each SKU   
  • Create short and long term omni-channel forecasts and partner with key stakeholders to improve our omni-channel forecasting process
  • Work cross-functionally with growth, sales & product development teams, create forecasts for new product and variant launches
  • Define and own weekly inventory health reporting for the executive team, flagging at-risk SKUs and potential stockouts and reporting on inventory metrics, including stock levels, average daily sales, and aging inventory
  • Develop and execute strategies to balance inventory health, sell-thru and cash conversion
  • Conduct regular analysis of inventory data, including sales trends, product performance, and customer behavior, to identify areas for improvement and actionable insights
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to communicate inventory-related updates, strategies, and performance insights effectively

What We’re Looking For

  • 2-5 years of relevant demand planning, forecasting or data modeling experience at a high-growth ecommerce startup, investment bank, or professional services firm 
  • Exceptional proficiency with Excel, including data manipulation and modeling
  • Superlative attention to detail 
  • Highly collaborative and enjoy working with different teams to collect information and implement cross-functional best practices
  • Strong bias for action and a thirst to learn.
  • Clear written and verbal communication.
  • Demonstrated leadership in the forecasting/demand planning space

Bonus Points

  • Experience fetching data with code (any flavor of SQL, GraphQL) or through no-code integrations (Zapier)
  • Exposure to building forecasting models in Python or R
  • Quantitative degree in economics, statistics, computer science or similar
  • APICS exposure and CPIM certification
  • A love for furniture and the built environment

Branch is proud to be an equal opportunity employer that celebrates individuality and uniqueness. We firmly believe that diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences fuel innovation and creativity, ultimately making us a stronger and more effective team.

Our goal is to create a nurturing environment where all individuals are respected, appreciated, and empowered to achieve their utmost potential while being their true authentic self.

Branch is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to ensure our selection process is equitable, and such accommodations can be made available on request. If you require an accommodation, please contact people@branchfurniture.com. 

Hybrid & Remote Work: Please note that Branch operates on a hybrid model, with employees based in NYC coming into our showroom/office at least once a week. For employees in the US who are located outside of NYC, remote work is the standard arrangement.
