About Us

There is nothing like the feeling of a good night’s sleep. Cozy, wrapped-up-in-a-heavy-blanket sleep. Fire crackling, curtains drawn, DO NOT DISTURB kind of sleep. *Hygge stuff. That’s the kind of sleep we’re talking about. 85% of people agree sleep is a key to their wellbeing, but more than 50% of people are unsatisfied with their own sleep. Whether it’s stress, interruption, work, children, people need help getting great rest!

Hatch is on a mission to help everyone in the family get great sleep. Getting high quality sleep improves focus, energy, and performance no matter what you love to do in your life. We make bedside sleep devices and original content to help people wind down, sleep deeply and rise rested and relaxed. Led by Rest, the #1 baby registry item on Amazon, and Restore, our Award-winning adult focused product, we have helped over 3 million sleepers of all ages find space for rest in their lives.

The Opportunity

Our operations and supply chain team looking for an experienced inventory planner/inventory analyst to join us for a 3 to 4 month contract. This role is a mission critical addition to the team charged with manufacturing, logistics, and omni-channel operations, and will report to the head of manufacturing operations. Key objectives of this position include strengthening our inventory availability forecasting and management; optimizing inventory levels to achieve inventory turn, months on hand, and other target KPIs; helping Hatch maintain a healthy supply of inventory and critical raw components; and partnering with CMs to sync their supply forecasts with our needs. This role will also support our international emerging markets, including Canada, Australia, United Kingdom and Europe. This person must be based in the United States or Canada. Hatch is based out of California, so this role would be asked to be available during PST/PDT hours.

  • Develop data-driven, high quality analyses of demand in order to generate a high quality inventory receipts forecast at multiple levels of aggregation for a 12-18 month time horizon for multiple product families, channels, and warehouses
  • Accurately predict needed inventory receipts to satisfy demand and schedule POs and component orders accordingly
  • Actively plan product assortment levels for new product launches as well as the phasing out of last-gen models
  • Help manage inventory levels to achieve target KPIs including inventory turn and months on hand by product
  • Publish weekly business reporting for the executive team at the category and product level, providing analysis on inventory trends and future risks
  • Improve, manage and maintain our inventory planning model and processes
  • Work and collaborate cross-functionally with other teams such as marketing, product and finance on inputs and analyses
  • Work with our Contract Manufacturers (CM) and country managers to make sure our demand planning & revenue goals can be sufficiently supported by manufacturing and supply side pro forma delivery schedules
  • Manage critical component lead times as well as consignment components with CMs
  • Partner with finance to approve and issue POs to CMs once approved
  • Contribute to managing product lifecycles by developing inventory strategies for existing items, new products, and product transitions

What You’ll Bring

  • 3+ years of Operations experience in a similar capacity as this role
  • BA or BS in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or other quantitative field
  • Strong analytical skills, experience working with large data sets and data analysis including financial scenario analysis
  • Must have very strong Excel skills (vlookups, what if statements, macros, dashboards)
  • Self-motivated, comfortable working with ambiguity and managing complexity in a global, fast-paced organization
  • Aptitude for blending quantitative and qualitative data
  • Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, in English; Mandarin fluency a strong plus
  • Experience working in cross-functional teams to drive projects to completion
  • Independent self-starter who can handle multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment. Must be able to work autonomously
