We are seeking a detail-oriented, innovative problem-solver who is curious, has a passion for retail, and is eager to learn from (and grow with) their team.

- Help the team create ways to track & analyze product performance metrics and optimize strategies to achieve maximum results year over year
- Conduct small market research and competitor analysis to identify trends and opportunities
The requirements would include the below:
- Team & solution-oriented
- Excellent communication and organization skills
- Understanding of Excel, PowerPoint, Canva basics (and willing to learn more!)
- Bachelor's degree with an interest in Retail
- Past retail buying/merchandising/product development education or experience would be a plus
- Open to overnight travel for meetings and/or meeting set-up (domestic & international)
- Please note that flexible work-from-home is available, but home office preference is between Chicago, Milwaukee, and Madison
