• Identify and analyze trends across programs to drive data‑informed prioritization.
• Provide executive‑ready summaries, dashboards, and reports to support strategic decision‑making.
• Anticipate and resolve conflicts, manage dependencies, and mitigate risks to delivery timelines.

• Deep understanding of the retail industry, store operations, and omnichannel commerce trends.
• Strong business acumen and ability to understand all aspects of retail store execution (e.g., people, customer experience, training, merchandising, operations).
• Experience in strategic planning, program management, or retail business operations.
• Proven ability to lead cross‑functional collaboration without direct authority.
• Exceptional influencer who connects dots between teams, builds alignment, and drives results.
• Strong ability to synthesize complex information, identify key insights, and distinguish signal from noise.
• Excellent communicator who can present complex plans simply and persuasively.
• Builds strong networks across functions, geographies, and organizational levels.

• 8+ years of experience in retail business planning, operations, or program management (global experience preferred).
• Experience working in a large matrixed organization, ideally within technology or premium retail.
• Proficiency with planning tools and dashboards (e.g., Excel, Keynote, Numbers, Smartsheet, or equivalent).
• Experience with data visualization and capacity modeling is a plus.
