About the role
HomeLane makes interiors easy: a dream home, fi nished exactly as designed and delivered on time. Behind that promise sits a supply chain that has to put the right SKU in the right place at the right time, every time. This role owns that.
We are looking for an analytically sharp Inventory Planner who can forecast demand, plan stock across our network, and keep availability high while capital stays lean. You will be the single point of accountability for three outcomes that usually pull against each other: zero stockouts, lower working capital, and minimal inventory write-off. Getting all three at once is the job.
What you'll own
● Forecasting and demand planning. Build and run the demand forecast across SKUs and locations. Translate sales, design pipeline, and seasonality into a plan the network can execute against.
● SKU placement and network fl ow. Decide what stocks where, and how much.



Position inventory across warehouses and cities so lead time to the customer stays short without over-stocking any node.
● Zero stockouts. Own service levels on critical and quick-moving SKUs. Set safety-stock and reorder logic that protects availability at the lowest sensible cost.
● Working capital. Drive down inventory holding and days-of-inventory without hurting availability. Treat cash tied up in stock as a number you are answerable for.
● Write-off and ageing. Minimise obsolescence, ageing, and dead stock. Build the early-warning views that fl ag slow movers before they become write-offs.
● Vendor terms. Negotiate lead time and MOQ with vendors to reduce HomeLane's exposure. Shorter, more reliable lead times and right-sized minimums are a core lever of this role.
● Instrumentation. Defi ne the metrics, dashboards, and cadence that make inventory health visible to the business, and act on what they show.
