About the role

The owner of Pocket’s demand forecast, inventory health, and fulfillment planning. You answer three critical questions: how many units we’re going to sell, when we need to order them, and where the inventory needs to be.

Pocket sells physical products across DTC, Amazon, retail, and international markets. You’ll monitor demand, identify stock risks early, and coordinate with warehouses and fulfillment partners to keep products available without tying up unnecessary cash.

This is a hands-on role on a lean team. You’ll work with imperfect data, build processes where none exist, and directly influence availability, delivery speed, and shipping cost.

What you'll own

Daily demand monitoring and the weekly forecast across channels, SKUs, and colorways

Reorder points, safety stock, days of coverage, and purchase order recommendations

Stockout and overstock risk identification, with clear mitigation plans

Amazon FBA shipment planning and inventory health across marketplaces

Day-to-day execution with 3PL and fulfillment partners

Inventory placement across warehouses to balance availability, delivery speed, and cost

Reconciliation of inventory and fulfillment data across systems

The core numbers: forecast accuracy, in-stock rate, inventory turns, days of coverage, and fulfillment cost

What we're looking for

1–3 years in supply chain, demand planning, inventory, or fulfillment operations for a physical product

You’ve built and maintained a real forecast and can explain where it was wrong

Advanced Excel or Google Sheets skills and comfort working with messy data from multiple systems

Strong understanding of lead times, safety stock, reorder points, and MOQs

High attention to detail and ownership of the accuracy of your work

You chase answers, move quickly, and figure things out without detailed instructions

Experience with Amazon FBA, 3PLs, WMS/ERP systems, SQL, or high-growth ecommerce is a strong plus

What we offer

Direct impact on inventory and fulfillment at a fast-scaling YC company

High ownership and direct access to founders and the senior team

A lean, fast-moving environment with room to grow into broader supply chain ownership
