• Work closely with sales enablement to uncover risks and opportunities across the product portfolio.
• Partner with online visual merchandisers and the overall AMERICAS DTC ECommerce team to make key recommendations and influence the product presentation onsite and in marketing channels.
• Seek ways to improve processes, tooling and collaboration with global and regional counterparts.

Your Story

• 3+ years of handson experience in Merchandise Planning, Sales Planning, Demand Planning, or buying, ideally within a DTC or Ecommerce landscape.
