Mission Brief: Build the Intelligence Layer That Moves Owndays' Global Merchandise

Owndays is a global eyewear brand with a rapidly expanding footprint across Asia, the Middle East, and beyond. Operating

an integrated value chain across design, manufacturing, retail, and e-commerce, Owndays is building a tech-enabled, data-

led omni-channel business. With thousands of SKUs and a complex supplier network, we are reimagining how merchandise

flows — from vendor to warehouse to customer — with intelligence, precision, and speed.

This is not a role about managing stock. It is about building the intelligence layer that ensures the right product is in the

right place at the right time — powered by data, driven by AI, and led by you. As Buying, Planning & Merchandise Lead, you

will own the strategic and operational command of Owndays' end-to-end merchandise flow — from demand sensing and

OTB to vendor capacity and warehouse inflow — turning raw signals into precision decisions and transforming

replenishment from reactive to predictive.





This is a hands-on leadership role that will require needs-based travel across Owndays' geographies — to work directly with

vendors, manufacturing partners, warehouses, and regional teams as the business demands.
