Hi, I’m Natalie Dusome, Founder and CEO of Poppy & Peonies.

At Poppy & Peonies, we’re a fun and energetic brand that believes style and function should always go hand-in-hand. We’re passionate about creating practical pieces that make life a little easier and literally lighten the load.

Building Poppy & Peonies has been an incredible adventure. It all started when my daughter Poppy was born, and I found that my accessories no longer fit my new life as a mom. I needed bags with pockets and organization that looked cool but also had functionality. When I couldn’t find them, I decided to create them myself. And so, in 2015, Poppy & Peonies was born.

We’ve come a long way since then—from filling orders in my basement to appearing on Dragons’ Den, and now, expanding into new product categories and collaborating with exciting influencers and brands. It hasn’t always been smooth sailing, but thanks to our incredible community, we’ve never felt more loved and supported!

We believe in our responsibility to care for the environment and are passionate about preserving the health and welfare of our planet and the animals that live on it. That’s why all of our bags are made from high-quality vegan leather, and our entire product line is vegan, cruelty-free, and PETA-approved. We ship our products plastic-free and use a combination of recycled, compostable, and biodegradable materials to mitigate shipping waste. We are constantly looking for new ways to make our products and supply chain more sustainable, reducing our carbon footprint.

As our Inventory Planner, you will own the forecasting, planning, and inventory strategy that ensures our most-loved products are available when our customers want them. You will work closely with leadership to forecast demand, anticipate growth, and develop inventory strategies that support both product launches and viral moments across multiple sales channels.

As Poppy & Peonies continues to grow across North America — including significant growth into the U.S. market, new warehouse locations and emerging channels like TikTok Shop — your work will be critical in ensuring we have the right products, in the right quantities, in the right locations and platforms.

A key focus of this role is market-specific inventory planning, particularly across Canada and the U.S, ensuring that inventory strategies reflect regional demand patterns, customer behaviour, and channel performance.

This role is ideal for someone who loves turning data into strategy and thrives in a fast-growing consumer brand where demand can move quickly.

• Develop and execute market-specific inventory strategies, with a strong focus on U.S. allocation to support continued expansion and growth.

• Build and maintain forecasting models using historical sales, seasonal trends, and marketing insights.

• Plan and allocate inventory across multiple warehouses and regions to optimize availability, delivery timelines and cost efficiency.

• Collaborate with marketing, growth and social teams to anticipate demand spikes from campaigns, influencers, and viral trends - particularly across emerging channels like TikTok Shop

• Manage inventory planning across multiple distribution channels, including e-commerce (Shopify), and social commerce platforms and future channel expansions.

• Track inventory KPIs and provide reporting to leadership for decision-making.

• Support product launches and ensure key SKUs remain available during high-demand periods.
Identify process improvements in inventory management and planning systems.

What You Bring to the Table::

5+ years of experience in inventory planning, demand planning, or supply chain operations across Canada and U.S markets

•
Experience in e-commerce or consumer brands, ideally with exposure to multi sales environments (including Shopify and TikTok Shop).
