Job Title: Freelance Inventory Strategy & Clearance Planner
Location: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Type: Contract
Work Model: Hybrid – onsite and remote
Hours: 40.0 hours per week
Overview
This freelance role focuses on developing and executing strategic inventory management and clearance plans for a retail organization. The successful candidate will analyze inventory performance, identify opportunities for markdowns and off-price sales, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to optimize inventory flow and profitability. The role emphasizes data analysis and strategic planning to manage aging stock, monitor sell-through curves, and implement effective product clearance strategies across multiple channels, including store and e-commerce. The candidate will be responsible for identifying stock liabilities, formulating promotional or liquidation exit strategies, and ensuring optimal product placement throughout the supply chain.
Responsibilities
- Strategy & Inventory Management
- Formulate tiered markdown strategies to clear seasonal and excess inventory while protecting baseline profitability.
- Monitor aging stock levels, analyze sell-through curves, and forecast clearance sales to proactively manage inventory liabilities.
- Identify off-price, secondary market, or donation opportunities for obsolete or deeply broken-size-scale inventory to alleviate unproductive inventory.
- Analyze and communicate product risks and opportunities, recommending and executing plans to re-balance product flow as necessary.
- Data-Driven Analysis & Reporting
- Conduct post-season and post-promotion analyses to identify slow-moving categories, evaluate clearance performance, and refine future buy guidelines.
- Develop and maintain reporting tools and dashboards to track clearance metrics, providing actionable insights to leadership.
- Create ad-hoc analyses to react dynamically to current and future business environments.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Partner with Inventory Planners, Merchandise Planners, and Merchandising to identify action plans for merchandise allocation and inventory initiatives.
- Build strong partnerships with Store Operations & Field Visual to respond proactively and reactively to store needs and product placement.
- Collaborate with E-commerce, Supply Chain, and Logistics to improve inventory flow, executing seamless markdowns, pullbacks, and transfers.
Requirements
- 3–5 years of experience in retail inventory planning, allocation, pricing strategy, or replenishment (Value/Off-Price retail experience is a major plus).
- Advanced proficiency in Excel and data visualization/reporting tools (e.g., Tableau, Cognos); sell-through curves, and margin math.
- Proven ability to analyze aging stock data and formulate profitable exit or promotional strategies.
- Exceptional relationship-building skills with a track record of working effectively across buying, planning, store operations, and logistics teams.
