Ecommerce Demand Planner

Skylight is a technology startup building the OS of the family. We make Skylight Calendar, the smart calendar loved by millions of families (plus

Wired

and

Wirecutter ).

Calendar 2 launched earlier this year to rave reviews, and our newest product, Skylight Buddy, was just named one of

TIME’s Best Inventions of 2026 .

Our founders are former venture capitalists and serial entrepreneurs who have scaled this business to $300M+ in annual revenue while being

completely bootstrapped and profitable

. We get to grow a happy, healthy company focused on making products our customers love

without investors breathing down our necks.
Smart, hardworking people who care about making

actually meaningful products

love working here. We’re busy inventing new ways to simplify family life and help parents raise great kids – and we need your help! In this role you’ll build, own, and improve the demand forecast for Skylight’s ecommerce business: You’ll turn performance signals (traffic, conversion, in-stock levels, pricing, promotions) and consumer signals (macro trends and our own customer behavior) into SKU- and channel-level demand plans for Skylight Calendar, Frame, and Buddy. You’ll sit between Commercial, Finance, and Supply Planning so forecasts reflect our pricing and promotional strategy and give Supply Planning what it needs to buy and replenish. You’ll also help shape how we plan as we build out our Demand Planning tool in Pigment.
