A role with Space & Presentation means you're on a mission to create better store space and experiences for our guest while maximizing sales. We are responsible for ensuring the right item is on the right shelf in the right store. On the Space side, we do this by using analytics to determine the appropriate footage for each assortment for every store (“adjacency”). Each store's assortment is assigned to a planogram (POG) which is developed in Presentation to ensure the localized assortment meets presentation objectives and is associated to the correct location in a store. We believe that making increasingly better space allocation and presentation decisions will increase sales, improve guest satisfaction and reduce out-of-stocks. Here, you'll partner with and manage cross-functional project teams in Merchandising, Store Design, Marketing, Store Operations and Non-Retail Procurement from strategy to execution to achieve an inspiring and convenient in-store guest experience.

You will also build and maintain relationships with our global Space & Presentation teams, leaders, and cross functional partners to continually understand and assess S/P core and cross functional team needs and priorities, capturing the voice of the customer to identify and develop solutions for operational opportunities.

As a process subject matter expert, you'll have a detailed understanding of processes including necessity, partner and system implications, and application to core global Space & Presentation teams.
