This is a focused, execution-oriented role: daily analytical visibility into the business, demand and forecast precision, and disciplined tracking of the regional recovery opportunity against budget.

Familiarity with SAP, JDA, or comparable replenishment systems is a plus. Demonstrated ability to work independently in ambiguous, fast-moving commercial environments – and to surface insight quickly, not perfectly.

Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Analytics, Economics, or related field – or equivalent demonstrated experience. Prior exposure to luxury, fashion, or premium retail (wholesale or D2C). Familiarity with auto-replenishment systems and the operational rhythm of a wholesale-run-as-retail model. Experience supporting a senior commercial leader directly – comfortable with quick turnarounds and shifting priorities. Working knowledge of licensor-managed wholesale dynamics. Curiosity and operational discipline in equal measure – someone who treats forecasting as craft, not chore. #J-18808-Ljbffr
