Job Role: Merchandise Planning Analyst
Compensation range: $1,500 AUD - $1,800 AUD / Monthly

Work Schedule: This role is expected to require roughly 30 hours per week. As a contractor, you’ll have flexibility in how you manage your schedule, but availability for occasional collaboration during AU business hours is preferred.
Who We Are: At Hunt St, we help Australian companies hire top remote talent in the Philippines. You will be hired directly by the client as an independent contractor. We are not an outsourcing agency. All of our roles are 100% remote so you'll be able to work from home.

With a strong online and physical retail presence, the business is focused on delivering a high-quality customer experience through carefully selected products and knowledgeable service.
The team is collaborative and close-knit, with a strong focus on commercial performance, continuous improvement and finding smarter ways to work.

Maintain forward sales and inventory forecasts using historical performance, seasonality, promotional activity and known trading plans.
Quantify forward and bulk order requirements to support stock availability while managing inventory risk.
