    Job Description

    Now Brewing - senior replenishment planner! #tobeapartner

    From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company. One that not only celebrated coffee and the rich tradition, but that also brought a feeling of connection. We are known for developing extraordinary leaders who share this passion and are guided by their service to others.

    In this role, you will act as a senior thought partner and high impact individual contributor, shaping how replenishment decisions are made across the food portfolio. You'll bring strong analytical rigor and business judgment to stabilize fast moving categories, support innovation launches, and guide product transitions-balancing availability, waste, and financial performance. With a high degree of ownership, you'll proactively surface risk, influence cross functional decisions, and help raise the bar for replenishment planning excellence and execution across the team

    As a senior replenishment planner, you will…

    • Identify opportunities to improve store sales through data driven inventory analysis, recommending store-focused replenishment strategies that ensure high availability during innovation launches and core business cycles across Breakfast and Lunch platforms.
    • Design and execute inventory strategies that balance innovation support with low-waste objectives, proactively managing product transitions and volume shifts to meet store sales and financial targets while minimizing write offs and excess exposure.
    • Contribute to strategic planning and innovation by leading process improvements and adopting new technologies, ensuring initiatives are executed efficiently and aligned with network capacity and operational needs as platforms scale.
    • Rapidly ramp into complex planning scenarios and act as a high impact individual contributor, strengthening team capability by sharing expertise, coaching peers, and driving consistent execution through periods of change and elevated risk across categories and functions.

    We'd love to hear from people with:

    • Proven senior level supply chain and replenishment expertise, with progressive experience developing and executing inventory strategies that stabilize complex, high velocity categories and balance availability, waste, and financial outcomes.
    • Advanced analytical toolkit with strong working knowledge of inventory, replenishment, and allocation systems; ability to use data to diagnose issues, anticipate risk, evaluate tradeoffs, and influence decisions across stakeholders.
    • Strategic and execution focused mindset, capable of translating business objectives into actionable plans, pressure testing assumptions, and owning outcomes through ambiguity and change.
    • Strong cross functional influencer and partner, able to communicate clearly, listen effectively, and operate as a trusted thought partner, driving stability and decision quality.
    • Customer and results-oriented leader, who understands what drives store and customer experience, prioritizes the right work, and proactively mitigates obstacles to deliver consistent, high-quality outcomes.
    • Interest in AI and automation, with a passion for improving business processes through technology
    • Bachelor's degree in supply chain, Industrial Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience.

    About Company

    Every day, we go to work hoping to do two things: share great coffee with our friends and help make the world a little better. It was true when the first Starbucks opened in 1971, and it’s just as true today.

    Back then, the company was a single store in Seattle’s historic Pike Place Market. From just a narrow storefront, Starbucks offered some of the world’s finest fresh-roasted whole bean coffees. The name, inspired by Moby Dick, evoked the romance of the high seas and the seafaring tradition of the early coffee traders.

    In 1981, Howard Schultz (Starbucks chairman and chief executive officer) had first walked into a Starbucks store. From his first cup of Sumatra, Howard was drawn into Starbucks and joined a year later.

    In 1983, Howard traveled to Italy and became captivated with Italian coffee bars and the romance of the coffee experience. He had a vision to bring the Italian coffeehouse tradition back to the United States. A place for conversation and a sense of community. A third place between work and home. He left Starbucks for a short period of time to start his own Il Giornale coffeehouses and returned in August 1987 to purchase Starbucks with the help of local investors.

    From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company. One that not only celebrated coffee and the rich tradition, but that also brought a feeling of connection.
