What will you do?

A day in the life of a Wholesale Planner at Vans looks a little like this.

The Wholesale Planner is responsible for driving profitable growth across a defined wholesale account base by translating seasonal strategies into actionable demand and inventory plans. This role partners closely with Sales, Merchandising, and Supply teams to optimize assortment, inventory flow, and in-season performance across footwear and apparel, ensuring the right product is in the right place at the right time.

Let's break down that day-in-the-life a bit more.

• Build and manage seasonal demand and inventory plans by account, aligning to financial targets and product strategies
• Analyze historical performance, sell-through, and trends to inform forecasts and identify risks and opportunities
• Partner with Sales to support account-level planning, including pre-season buys, replenishment, and in-season reforecasting
• Monitor weekly business performance (sell-in, sell-through, inventory) and recommend actions to maximize revenue and margin
• Optimize inventory flow and allocation across footwear and apparel to support account needs and reduce excess exposure
• Drive in-season trade actions (reorders, cancellations, markdown recommendations) based on performance insights
• Collaborate with Merchandising on assortment planning to ensure alignment with consumer demand and account positioning
• Support key milestone processes (line planning, go-to-market, order book management, forecast updates)
• Maintain planning tools and data accuracy; contribute to reporting and business reviews
• Partner cross-functionally (Supply Chain, Finance, Customer Service) to resolve inventory, fulfillment, and forecast challenges
