  • Able to think critically and understand the potential of a product in the marketplace while identifying gaps to tops-down and bottoms-up financial plan.
  • Advanced Excel skills

WHAT YOU WILL WORK ON

On any given day you might be developing style-level plans to inform financial plans that will fuel assortments and influence buy and supply decisions while partnering with key stakeholders.
