The Fulfillment Planning Manager will be a critical member of the Supply Chain Planning team, owning the weekly cadence of planning JWN fulfillment volumes to drive labor planning and daily execution across Fulfillment Centers (FCs), Store Operations (Store Fulfillment), and Final Mile Transportation. Each weekly plan run requires cross-functional engagement and upstream stakeholder management to drive aligned operational plans across banners and fulfillment channels, plus hands-on modeling knowledge to achieve day-level accuracy in the near term. In addition to managing and improving current state planning capabilities, the Fulfillment Planning Manager will have responsibilities for defining and shaping future state capabilities in partnership with Product Management.

This is a player/coach role, responsible for building the total plan, while also directly managing one planner, who owns the store-level fulfillment plan. More direct reports may be added in the future.

This role will require strong data analytics skills, fluency with AI and agentic tooling applied to planning work, a pragmatic attitude, and comfort in driving decisions. The Fulfillment Planning Manager is expected to balance on-going planning activities with one-off analysis and recommendations to support executive decisions. Strong verbal and written communication skills are essential. This role will require directly driving analysis as well as shaping the efforts of partner teams to achieve impactful business outcomes.

The ideal candidate for this role has prior experience in Demand, Fulfillment, or Labor Planning for a retail supply chain, as well as exposure to using AI tooling to automate analytical work.
