Full Job Description

$80,000–$100,000

Candidate will own the buying for a portfolio of 200+ lifestyle and fashion apparel brands, using historical sell-through data and AI-assisted analysis to curate purchase orders that maximize sell-through at our required margins.

About Alternative Retail

Alternative Retail is a Southern California company that operates warehouse sales and sample sales for more than 200 lifestyle, fashion, and apparel brands. Our model is different from traditional retailers: inventory sells in short, high-intensity event windows rather than sitting on a floor year-round. That makes buying decisions — what to acquire opportunistically, at what depth, and at what price — the single biggest driver of our business.

About the Role

Reporting directly to a co-founder, you'll be the analytical engine behind our purchasing. Twelve months in, success looks like this: you've built a repeatable, data-driven buying process; our purchase orders consistently hit sell-through and margin targets; slow-moving inventory is shrinking; and the founders trust your recommendations enough that reviewing an order takes minutes, not hours. This is a planning and analysis role — you will not be working the sale floor at events.

What You'll Do

Own the analysis of historical shipped and sold data across 200+ brands — normalizing messy, inconsistent vendor files into clean, decision-ready datasets
Evaluate opportunistic available-goods lists from vendors and curate recommended purchase orders — quantity by style, broken down by size curve and color performance
Compute event-based sell-through metrics
Manage inventory position targets — balancing on-hand stock against expected demand so we buy deep on proven performers without overbuying unproven items
Use Claude / Gemini daily as a core analysis partner — building and refining structured buying logic, reviewing opportunities, and generating draft orders for review by the team.
Present recommendations to the founders with clear rationale, confidence levels, and flagged risks — and defend or revise them under questioning

What We're Looking ForRequired

5+ years of experience in buying, merchandise planning, allocation, or inventory analysis for apparel, footwear, or accessories
Highly technical: advanced Microsoft Excel proficiency (pivot tables, lookups, data cleaning, navigating large datasets) is non-negotiable
Experience using AI tools for analysis — or demonstrated aptitude and genuine enthusiasm to make AI a core part of your workflow
Strong retail math: sell-through, turn, margin, size curves, open-to-buy concepts
Comfort with ambiguity — vendor data arrives in inconsistent formats, and you'll need judgment where the data is incomplete.
Be a team player — stepping in to assist the inventory team with reconciling orders or chasing down missing data from vendors when needed

Preferred

Off-price, closeout, or liquidation apparel experience — you understand opportunistic buying, where hesitation means the goods are gone
Exposure to event-based or pop-up retail (warehouse sales, sample sales, outlet)
Experience with BI tools alongside Excel.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary: $80,000–$100,000, depending on experience
Performance bonuses tied to event outcomes
401(k) eligibility
Paid vacation and sick leave
Santa Ana, CA based — with remote flexibility available for the right fit

Pay: $80,000.00 - $100,000.00 per year

Benefits:

401(k)
Paid time off

Experience:

Microsoft Excel: 5 years (Required)
Clothing/Shoes purchasing/analyzing: 3 years (Required)

Work Location: In person
