  • 2-5 years of experience in a corporate setting, preferably within a large, multinational organization.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage credibly with internal teams, suppliers, licensors, and retail partners.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy; able to maintain high data quality under pressure and across high volumes of information.
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple workstreams, prioritize effectively, and meet turnaround deadlines.
