Overview
Demand Planner – Location: Adelaide Support Office (South Australia)
Join The Shoe Group as a Demand Planner. We are looking for an experienced and hands on Demand Planner to keep our top sellers stocked, streamline slow movers, and lead a dynamic team that delivers results. You’ll combine robust financial planning with the practical, customer focused energy that defines both Spendless and Corasol, making sure every store has the right product, in the right place, at the right time.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Smart stock management - Balance weeks cover, stock turn and GP across 200+ stores, using daily & weekly sales reads to stay ahead of demand.
- Planning & analysis - Own the Open to Buy, review ranges by store each season, and jump on size ratio tweaks before they become an issue.
- Financial guardianship - Monitor FX impacts, partner with Finance on GP targets, and prep tidy insights for auditors or ad-hoc deep dives.
- Cross functional hustle - Collaborate with Retail, DC, Branding and IT to turn strategy into product on shelf fast.
- Continuous improvement - Spot gaps, pilot new reporting tools, and champion change so we’re always a step ahead of the market.
What You’ll Bring
- Proven retail planner with a track record in stock cover, turn & GP optimisation.
- Collaborative team player with strong communication skills, able to partner effectively across planning, buying, operations, and supply chain teams.
- Experience in leading a small team desirable but not essential; you have a passion for people.
- OTB wizardry and solid grasp of local & imported supply chains.
- Strong Excel, BI or other relevant reporting skills and the confidence to back decisions with numbers.
- Tertiary qualification in Business, Commerce, Supply Chain or similar.
- Previous experience in a planning function required.
Why you’ll love working with us
- People first: supportive leaders, real career paths and a culture that celebrates wins.
- Impact: autonomy to drive change across a national network.
- Perks: team discounts on our full shoe & accessories range, paid volunteering days, and onsite parking.
- Flexibility: work arrangements and options.
