director planning, Replenishment

From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company. One that not only celebrated coffee and the rich tradition, but that also brought a feeling of connection. We are known for developing extraordinary leaders who share this passion and are guided by their service to others.

The director of Replenishment Planning will lead significant operational transformation as we transition core system technology and leverage advanced analytics to enable perpetual inventory in stores and automated ordering. This leader will drive the utmost customer centricity by supporting data quality, exception management, and event management to ensure the right products are delivered to the right stores at the right time with 100% on-shelf customer availability.

We will build the assortment planning discipline to ensure higher levels of profitability and lower waste while exceeding customer expectations. This initiative is a high priority across the enterprise as we embed these capabilities to reduce friction with inventory flow and free up our store partners from inventory tasks so they can focus on delivering the Starbucks Experience every day.

As a director for replenishment planning, you will lead the team responsible for…

* Influencing assortment strategies with Product and Retail Ops

* Shaping end-to-end integrated inventory strategy with Sourcing, Distribution, and Retail/Store Development Field Ops

* Demonstrating empathy with stakeholders and delivering a better experience for partners and customers

* Communicating proactively and transparently with stakeholders with confidence and accuracy

* Leading teams through change, inclusive of modernizing approaches through automation

* Progressive experience in retail operations, project management, planning and forecasting, and retail management

We believe we do our best work when we're together, which is why we're onsite four days a week.
