About the Role

E-Commerce Forecasting & SKU Strategy Manager

At Blue Marble, we believe in the power of play to spark curiosity, creativity, and lifelong learning. We create innovative toys and experiences that inspire kids—and kids at heart—around the world.

We're seeking a data-driven Ecommerce Forecasting & SKU Strategy Manager to lead demand planning, inventory strategy, and SKU performance across our marketplace channels, including Amazon, Walmart, Target+, and other ecommerce platforms. In this role, you'll ensure the right products are available at the right time while optimizing inventory health, profitability, and operational efficiency.

Working closely with marketplace, logistics, and supply chain teams, you'll develop forecasting models, drive process improvements, and lead initiatives that support sustainable growth. This is an ideal opportunity for a strategic, hands-on leader who enjoys solving complex operational challenges and turning data into action.

You'll be the person who ensures the right inventory is in the right place at the right time, that every SKU is pulling its weight on margin, and that our team runs smoothly across Vendor Central, Seller Central, and our 3PL/logistics partners. If you love turning messy, cross-functional problems into clean processes and you're equally comfortable building a forecast model and coaching direct reports, then this role is for you.
