Manager, Sales & Operations Planning
Job Description
WE ARE STARFACE
Starface World is reinventing the way we care for acne-prone skin as the first complexion brand to combine efficacy and optimism. We take skincare concerns that were once thought of as flaws and translate them into an opportunity for expression.
Starface World is a positively uplifting place where everyone is safe & accepted exactly as they are. We support causes and do our own work in the world to help build a better, more supportive universe. The same thinking applies to the way we care for skin: we don’t identify flaws or imperfections, we just nurture what’s there—it’s perfect because it’s all just skin.
Our team is a small (but growing) group of committed individuals who are passionate, empathetic, creative, and eager to learn. We are committed to a sustained focus on diversity, equity, anti-racism, and inclusion.
your impact @ Starface
Starface is seeking a Manager, Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) to help strengthen how we plan, prioritize, and make decisions across our fast-growing business. Reporting directly to the Director of S&OP, this role fully owns the demand forecast across assigned channels and SKUs and plays a central role in translating complex, imperfect data into clear, executive-ready insights that leadership can rely on to make smart decisions around growth, inventory, and risk.
The right person for this role is an experienced planning professional who is comfortable operating independently and collaboratively, navigating ambiguity, and building structure while supporting continued business momentum. You’re grounded when things get messy, curious about the “why” behind the numbers, and confident partnering cross-functionally to align teams around a realistic and actionable plan.
At Starface, we love people who defy convention and bring curiosity, structure, and clarity to everything they do. If you’re excited about owning a forecast end-to-end, continuously improving how a business plans and scales, and helping leadership make better decisions through data, we want to hear from you.
