Sydney, Australia Jivaro Full time

Open to VIC & QLD talent ready to move to SYDNEY
- 300 + Stores + Concessions in the UK
- Lead a team of direct reports

**Planning Manager - Global Retail Powerhouse | Hardgoods**
**Shape Strategy. Lead Performance. Influence at Scale.**
- Global retail leader with a footprint across Europe & Australia
- Lead a high-performing team in one of the most profitable categories
- Work in a world-class planning function with best-in-market tools & talent

**About the Business**

Step into a pivotal leadership role with one of the world’s most influential and profitable retailers. Operating at scale across Europe and Australia, this business is renowned for its innovation, precision, and ability to turn planning into a true competitive advantage.
You’ll lead a flagship Hardgoods category that drives significant business growth. Supported by cutting-edge systems, high-calibre teams, and senior leadership who champion planning, you’ll have both the autonomy and resources to make bold commercial moves.

**About the Role**
As Planning Manager, you’ll own the strategy, financials, and performance for your category - delivering results at pace while building capability in your team. This role offers full end-to-end responsibility, from strategy to execution.

**Key responsibilities**:

- Set and steer strategy for category growth and profitability
- Own and reforecast OTB, ensuring commercial targets are hit
- Lead all planning functions: category, option, replenishment, store grading, and planograms
- Manage WSSI, inventory targets, and promotional calendars
- Coach and develop a team of experienced Planners
- Collaborate cross-functionally to create data-led, customer-first trade strategies

**What You’ll Bring**
- Proven Planning Manager experience in high-volume, fast-paced retail
- Strong commercial acumen with full financial ownership of large categories
- Deep expertise in WSSI, OTB, and advanced Excel (macros, pivots, V-lookups)
- Demonstrated success coaching and leading high-performing teams
- Confidence engaging with senior leaders and influencing strategy

**Why This Role Stands Out**
This is more than a planning role, it’s a seat at the top table. You’ll influence global strategy, lead a high-impact category, and gain visibility with decision-makers at the highest level.
With clear progression pathways, world-class mentorship, and a culture that invests heavily in its people, this is your platform to step up, scale up, and deliver results that shape the future of the business.
