Inventory & Stock Planning Manager

We are looking for an Inventory & Stock Planning Manager. The successful candidate will own the US end-to-end inventory lifecycle across finished goods, service parts, repair components and sub-assemblies. The role ensures accurate visibility, disciplined control and forward-looking planning to support Disguise's global operations. This is a pivotal position as the organisation moves from reactive procurement to proactive, data-driven inventory management, with a strong emphasis on forecasting, stock optimisation, BOM-driven material planning, automation, and stakeholder management.

Key responsibilities

• Inventory Ownership, Governance & Control – Own global inventory visibility and integrity across all stock types, maintain NetSuite as the single source of truth for all inventory data, define and maintain robust stock classification and lifecycle controls, lead cycle counts and audits, and manage risks related to excess/slow-moving inventory, obsolescence, shrinkage and write-offs.
• Planning, Forecasting & Replenishment – Develop rolling inventory forecasts from sales demand, service consumption, RMA and project-based demand; own replenishment logic and planning parameters (MOQ, lead times, safety stock, reorder points) and partner closely with Operations, Hardware, Product Management and Service Centres to align plans with roadmap, capacity and service-level expectations. Support NPI ramp-up, product transitions, redesigns and EOL planning.
• BOM, Material Planning & Cost Control – Own inventory-related aspects of BOM management, ensuring accuracy of part structures and usage quantities and alignment between engineering BOMs and operational inventory; work with Hardware and Manufacturing partners to anticipate component-level demand, identify cost, availability and risks; control inventory value, holding costs, aged stock and write-offs; support Finance with inventory valuation accuracy, forecasting and variance analysis.
• Automation, Systems & Reporting – Drive automation of inventory planning and control processes, continuously improve NetSuite configuration, workflows and reporting related to forecast accuracy, stock health, inventory turns and ageing, and define and maintain a standard inventory reporting cadence.
• Manufacturer & Vendor Stakeholder Management – Act as the primary operational interface for inventory-related coordination with contract manufacturers, key component vendors and refurbishment partners, align forecasts, lead times and material availability with external partners, and manage risks related to supply constraints, long lead-time components and demand volatility.

• Proven experience using automations to improve inventory efficiency.
• Commercial experience using inventory control methodologies.

• Experience managing inventory across third-party warehouses and external partners.
• Experience with BOM management and material planning.
• Nice to have: familiarity with electronics, components or technical spare parts.
