THE ROLE

At Grove Collaborative, we’re on a mission to transform the consumer goods industry into a force for human and environmental good. We make it easy for millions of households to choose high-performing, sustainable products because we believe the future of commerce must be rooted in care for people and the planet.

We’re looking for a Senior Inventory Planner (Contract) to join our team for a 2–3 month engagement and play a key role in shaping the next stage of Grove’s inventory management. This person will lead our DTC planning group and serve as the primary contact for cross-functional partners, helping ensure the right products are in the right place, at the right time.

You’ll collaborate closely with teams across the business and our diverse network of vendors to develop scalable tools, systems, and processes that evolve with Grove’s growth. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic, mission-driven environment and brings deep experience in SKU-intensive assortments, digital-first retail, and ideally, import or end-to-end planning.

If you’re inspired by the opportunity to bring structure, insight, and sustainability to the world of inventory planning, and to do it alongside people who care deeply about purpose and progress, we’d love to connect.
