From URBN / Urban Outfitters's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Role Summary
URBN is the parent of Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Free People, FP Movement, Nuuly, BHLDN and Terrain, operating across retail, wholesale and rental. We are rebuilding our planning technology leadership around a bold thesis: planning is becoming a product
, and the next generation of merchandise and inventory decisions will be made by
AI-native, agentic systems reasoning over our enterprise data — not by manually maintained spreadsheets and rigid legacy tools.
We are seeking an Executive Director to lead this transformation. You will own Planning & Allocation, ERP and PLM technology; carry our enterprise planning platform (o9) to completion; and stand up a product-oriented, agentic planning organization that becomes a durable competitive advantage across all brands and channels. This is a builder's mandate for a leader who thinks like a product executive, is fluent in modern AI, and can partner credibly with brand CEOs, merchants and finance.
— MFP, Key Item Planning, Assortment Planning, Demand Forecasting, and Allocation & Replenishment capabilities across NA, EU and Nuuly.
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
— the systems and roadmap underpinning merchandise and inventory operations.
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
— the technology supporting product creation-to-market flows and its integration with planning.
The o9 planning platform program
— drive Assortment Planning to a successful, full rollout across all brands and channels, and own the commercial and delivery relationship with the vendor.
The agentic planning vision
— define and build the AI-native forward path for allocation, replenishment and demand decisions, with an internal product team and clear human-in-the-loop governance.
Warehouse Management (WM) may be brought into this portfolio over time; the ideal candidate can grow into supply-chain-adjacent scope
