At IsAlbi, we bring beautifully designed, on-trend homewares, kitchenware, artificial plants, and gifting to homes and retailers across Australia & New Zealand. Partnering with leading retailers, we curate products that inspire, delight, and stand the test of time.

We're now looking for a Supply & Merchandising Planner to join our Melbourne team. This role is critical in ensuring product availability and inventory health across our diverse categories. You'll be responsible for developing accurate demand forecasts and translating them into effective supply plans that support our commercial objectives and operational efficiency.

Working closely with purchasing coordinators, suppliers, and logistics partners, you'll ensure timely order placement, shipment tracking, and issue resolution — while also owning merchandise planning activities and contributing to continuous improvement initiatives across the supply chain.

Key Responsibilities

  • Translate forecasts into supply plans that balance inventory targets, service levels, and timelines.
  • Collaborate with purchasing coordinators and suppliers to manage MOQs, resolve supply issues, and optimise stock flow.
  • Monitor inbound freight, supplier lead times, and stock levels to ensure product availability.
  • Lead merchandise planning activities including seasonal buys, range reviews, and lifecycle tracking.
  • Report on KPIs such as forecast accuracy, inventory health, service levels, and stock turns.
  • Partner with stakeholders across Merchandising, Logistics, Finance, IT, and Sales to drive alignment.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of demand, supply, and merchandise planning processes.

What You'll Bring

  • 5+ years' experience in supply chain, demand planning, or merchandise planning roles.
  • Strong forecasting, inventory planning, and supplier coordination expertise.
  • Experience with ERP systems, forecasting tools, and advanced Excel.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Organised, analytical, and solutions-focused, thriving in a fast-paced environment.
  • A degree in Supply Chain, Business, or related field (additional certifications desirable).

Why Join Us?

At IsAlbi, you'll be part of a creative and high-performing team where your work directly impacts product availability, sales performance, and customer satisfaction. You'll collaborate across multiple categories and channels, supporting a business that is dynamic, growing, and full of opportunity.

Apply today and bring your expertise in demand & merchandising planning to IsAlbi — shaping the future of how our products reach homes across Australia & New Zealand.
