About the Company

Born in 2021 with a simple cushion and a big dream, Hommey is revolutionising the homeware industry. We believe that creating an aspirational, top-quality brand doesn't have to break the bank. Our mission? To help you craft a personalised home that truly reflects who you are, without compromising on style or your budget.

At Hommey, we're more than just a homeware company - we're a family dedicated to making ethical, sustainable choices. From reducing waste in our production chain to ensuring high-standard working conditions, we're committed to doing better for our planet and our people.

About the Role

This is your chance to lead the strategic charge for one of Australia’s fastest-growing homeware brands. As Senior Merchandise Planner, you’ll shape and execute Hommey’s merchandise planning strategy across AU and US markets — from stock flow and margin planning to promotional strategies and inventory optimisation.

You’ll lead with data and commercial nous, scaling our planning function to drive growth and elevate customer experiences. You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams, and ensure every decision reflects Hommey’s bold vision and commitment to sustainability.

We’re after a strategic thinker with a builder’s mindset — someone who can turn insights into action, numbers into strategies, and plans into profitable outcomes.

• Coach and collaborate with our current Merchandise Planner to strengthen structure, foster creative problem-solving, and build a high-performing, solutions-focused planning function.
• Champion innovative approaches to drive efficiency and growth in a fast-paced environment.
