⦁ Partner with Supply Chain and cross-functional teams to improve product availability, inventory productivity, sell-through, and the overall customer experience.

⦁ Lead category projects and process improvements while providing functional guidance, knowledge-sharing, and coaching to team members.

Some of what you need:

⦁ Minimum of 3-5 years of relevant retail, merchandising, purchasing, product management, or supplier-management experience, including ownership of category deliverables or cross-functional projects.

⦁ Post-secondary degree or diploma with a focus on retail management, merchandising, business, purchasing, or a related discipline, or equivalent experience.

⦁ Strong analytical and financial acumen, with the ability to interpret sales, margin, inventory, customer, and market data and convert insights into practical recommendations.

⦁ Working knowledge of category-management principles, including assortment planning, pricing, promotions, product lifecycle management, inventory productivity, and vendor management.

⦁ Demonstrated negotiation and influencing skills, with sound judgment regarding when to decide, recommend, or escalate.

⦁ Ability to manage defined categories or complex workstreams with moderate independence while balancing multiple priorities and deadlines.

⦁ Clear written and verbal communication skills and the ability to build effective relationships with internal partners and suppliers.

⦁ Project-management and problem-solving capability, including planning, coordination, risk identification, and follow-through.

⦁ Customer-focused mindset with awareness of channel, competitive, and market trends.

⦁ Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. Experience with merchandising, reporting, product-information, or ERP systems is an asset.
