- Retail Math Fluency: Advanced command of core retail metrics, including IMU, GMROI, sell-through velocity, inventory turn, OTB governance, gross margin, and markdowns.
- Portfolio & Scale Capability: Proven comfort and capability managing high SKU matrices (3,000+ active styles) and sizable revenue scale ($30MM+).
- Leadership & Cross-Functional Influence: Strong leadership skills with experience managing teams, driving cross-functional initiatives, and presenting data-backed assortment strategies to design, planning, and executive leadership.
- Technical Skills: Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (complex formulas, modeling, pivot tables) and PowerPoint; direct experience utilizing enterprise ERP, PLM, or merchandise planning platforms
What this job rewards
You own the framework end to end and hold the line on how decisions get made. Success is clean, defensible assortment architecture and metrics that prove it: sell-through, turns, and margin all moving the right direction. You get the detail, the control, and the authority to build it correctly the first time. The people who thrive here would rather do it right than do it fast and loose.
