    Description

    Analyst, Space and Assortment

    Take the wheel on space planning strategy that shapes what shoppers see on the shelf.

    About the Role

    If you"ve got a few years of planogram and floorplan experience under your belt and you"re ready to own projects end-to-end, this is where you take the next step. As our Analyst, Space and Assortment, you"ll drive space planning strategy for major retail partners - managing your own timelines, partnering directly with clients, and turning data into decisions that shape category performance nationwide.

    You"ll have the independence to run your projects your way, backed by a team that trusts your judgment. You"ll dig into data, market trends, and fixture placement to solve real merchandising problems, and you"ll become a go-to resource for associates and senior leaders alike. If you"re looking for a role where your analysis has visible impact, this is it.

    What You"ll Do

    • Partner directly with retailers to shape space and floor planning strategies, bringing data-driven insight to fixture placement and category performance
    • Own multiple project timelines at once, keeping every process on track and thoroughly executed
    • Dig into data analysis, market trends, and outside resources to optimize space utilization and inform strategic merchandising calls
    • Support and mentor associates on core merchandising principles, and keep growth-oriented plans aligned with customer goals

    What You"ll Gain

    • Real ownership: independent project management with visibility to senior leaders
    • A chance to sharpen your analytical and strategic skills on high-impact retail accounts
    • Exposure to mentoring and training, building your leadership experience for what"s next
    • A role at the center of decisions that shape how top consumer brands reach shoppers

    Who We"re Looking For

    • Bachelor"s degree or equivalent job-related experience
    • 2-4 years of experience with planograms or floorplans
    • Experience with analysis in a professional setting; merchandising experience is a plus
    • Self-directed, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and knows how to prioritize competing requests
    • Strong written and verbal communication, with excellent interpersonal skills
    • Highly organized with sharp attention to detail and accuracy
    • Intellectually curious, a quick learner, and energized by solving problems
    • Proficient in Excel, Word, and PowerPoint

    Good to Know

    • No supervisory responsibilities - this role is about your own impact, not managing a team
    • Minimal to no travel or driving required
    • Primarily an office-based, sedentary role (sitting 66%+ of the day, computer data entry, occasional lifting up to 10 lbs.)
    • This position is open until filled, so don"t wait to apply
