Position Summary:

The Sr. Space & Assortment Planning Analyst plays a critical role in optimizing space strategies and planograms to enhance merchandising effectiveness, operational efficiency, and inventory performance.

• Provide feedback and training to offshore partners to continuously improve planogram execution.

Visual Merchandising Interpretation & Execution

• Ensure that visual merchandising principles are integrated into space planning decisions, supporting an optimal shopper experience.
• Work closely with Merchandising teams to refine product adjacencies, shelving configurations, and display effectiveness.
• Validate planograms against in-store execution and adjust for real-world applicability.

Data Analysis & Reporting
