• 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

• 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

• 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
