Sr Manager S&OP and Inventory Management

TravisMathew is a premium apparel brand that exists because we seized an opportunity—and we’re inviting you to take yours. Back in 2007, we saw there weren’t many companies whose clothing bridged the gap between performance and lifestyle, so we created our own. Inspired by the sun, surf, and sand of Southern California, we became a leading innovator in lifestyle performance apparel by making clothes for real life—plus working with premium wholesalers, building a leading e-commerce business, and opening retail stores around the world. We invite you to join team TravisMathew.

We are seeking a highly experienced and strategic Senior Manager of Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) and Inventory Management to lead and continuously evolve our planning processes across the apparel and footwear product portfolio. This role is pivotal in ensuring cross-functional alignment, optimizing inventory levels, improving forecast accuracy, and managing aged inventory risk. The ideal candidate brings strong leadership, analytical expertise, and a track record of delivering measurable improvements in demand planning and inventory health. This role is hybrid based out of our Huntington Beach offices.
