The posting

WHY JOIN ALO?

Mindful movement. It’s at the core of why we do what we do at ALO—it’s our calling. Because mindful movement in the studio leads to better living. It changes who yogis are off the mat, making their lives and their communities better. That’s the real meaning of studio-to-street: taking the consciousness from practice on the mat and putting it into practice in life.

Buyer North America

Location: Beverly Hills, California

Overview:

As the Buyer, you will own the buying strategy and business performance of assigned categories within Alo’s North America business across Retail and Digital. You will develop sales forecasts, determine inventory investments, and drive seasonal and in-season buying decisions that support sales, sell-through, and inventory productivity goals.

As a design-led company, Alo looks to Buying to translate the product vision into a commercially sound investment strategy. You will combine strong financial analysis with product knowledge and customer insight, partnering closely with Merchandising, Planning, and Allocation to align buys with demand and financial targets. This role requires independent judgment, clear recommendations, and accountability for execution from seasonal buy development through in-season performance and hindsight.

At Alo, in-office collaboration and culture are among our greatest assets. We believe being together builds strong team partnerships and cross-functional relationships. This position requires full-time, in-office presence.

Responsibilities:

Buying Strategy and Forecasting

  • Own seasonal buying strategies for assigned categories, establishing investment priorities across styles, colors, and channels in partnership with Merchandising, Planning, and Buying leadership.
  • Develop bottoms-up, SKU-level sales forecasts and unit buys using historical performance, comparable products, selling duration, store distribution, promotional timing, and current business trends.
  • Reconcile proposed buys with financial targets, beginning inventory, and planned receipts; evaluate scenarios and recommend investments that balance growth potential with inventory risk.
  • Present and support seasonal buy recommendations to Buying leadership and cross-functional partners, clearly explaining assumptions, opportunities, risks, and trade-offs.

Business Analysis and Decision Making

  • Lead weekly business reviews for assigned categories, interpreting performance against plan and prior year across sales, sell-through, SKU productivity, inventory, and weeks of supply.
  • Proactively respond to business trends by translating analysis into specific actions, identifying the drivers of performance and accounting for differences in distribution, product availability, launch timing, and promotions.
  • Lead seasonal hindsight reviews for assigned categories, turning product, customer, and channel insights into recommendations for future buys and Merchandising assortment decisions.

Inventory Strategy and Launch Execution

  • Drive in-season inventory actions for assigned categories, partnering with Planning on forecast updates, receipt flow, and investment needs to capture upside and mitigate excess or stockout risk.
  • Evaluate seasonal, carryover, and core performance; recommend future investment, replenishment priorities, and lifecycle actions in alignment with Merchandising and Planning.
  • Own visibility to purchase orders, open orders, and expected receipts for assigned categories. Assess launch readiness and quantify the sales and inventory impact of delivery changes.
  • Partner with Production, Logistics, Planning, and Allocation to resolve delivery risks, evaluate recovery options, and communicate clear recommendations and next steps.
  • Partner with Allocation on inventory priorities and channel needs to support launches and ongoing availability across Retail and Digital.

Cross-Functional Leadership and Execution

  • Serve as the Buying point of contact for assigned categories, driving alignment on business priorities, decisions, owners, and timelines across cross-functional partners.
  • Own the accuracy and timely completion of buy documentation, business reporting, and milestone materials; anticipate leadership questions and communicate risks before they affect execution.
  • Improve buying tools, reporting, and forecasting processes to strengthen decision quality and efficiency; share knowledge and provide guidance to junior team members as needed.

Qualifications:

  • 4-5+ years of progressive experience in buying or merchandise planning, with demonstrated ownership of category forecasts, inventory investments, and business results; apparel experience preferred.
  • Strong retail math and financial acumen, including demand forecasting, sell-through, weeks of supply, inventory turn, sales and margin performance, and open-to-buy principles.
  • Excel skills, including formulas, lookups, pivot tables, and analysis of large datasets; proficiency in PowerPoint and familiarity with buying, planning, or reporting systems.
  • Ability to combine quantitative analysis with product and customer understanding, distinguish underlying demand from inventory constraints, and make sound decisions with incomplete information.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to influence cross-functional partners and clearly explain recommendations to leadership.
  • Strong ownership, attention to detail, and follow-through, with the ability to prioritize competing deadlines and adapt in a fast-paced, growing business.
  • Experience across both retail stores and e-commerce preferred.

The base salary range for this position is $110,000-$125,000 per year which represents the current range for the base salary for this exempt position. Please note that actual salaries will vary based on factors including but not limited to location, experience, and performance.
