  • Strong analytical skills with a proficiency in Excel. Experience in O9, Power BI, Thought Spot, Alteryx or other data analysis tools would be considered an asset.

  • Excellent attention to detail coupled with the ability to make quick decisions based on complex datasets.

  • Understanding of retail math and retail KPIs, such as sell-through rates, weeks of supply, turn, service levels and in-stocks.
