Company Description

Who We Are

For 100 years, Reitmans Canada Limited (RCL) has helped define the Canadian retail landscape. Through iconic brands including Reitmans, RW&CO. and PENN. Penningtons, we've helped generations of Canadians express their confidence through fashion, style and self-expression.

Today, we're writing the next chapter of our story.

That means we're looking for builders. People who redefine what's possible, think like owners, move with urgency, and see opportunity where others see constraints. People who are energized by change, motivated by impact, and excited to shape what comes next.

If you're ready to build on a proud legacy and make a lasting impact, this is your moment.

Job Description

Nearly 100 years of retail. And we’re still changing.

Reitmans has been part of Canadian fashion for nearly a century — but we’re much more interested in what comes next.

Retail is moving fast. How customers shop, how we buy and how we get the right product to the right place at the right time is constantly evolving.

That’s where you come in.

The Opportunity

Contract 18- months

As an Allocation Analyst, you’ll work at the intersection of fashion, data and business.

Partnering closely with our Buying team, you’ll turn product strategies and customer behaviour into smart inventory decisions — looking at what’s selling, where the opportunities are and what we should do next.

If you love fashion but also love understanding the why behind the numbers, you’ll feel right at home.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with our Buying team to understand each season’s product and customer strategy and translate it into smart allocation decisions.
• Analyze performance across stores and digital channels, spotting trends and adjusting inventory based on what our customers are telling us.
• Connect the dots between Buying, Planning and Distribution to make sure the right product is in the right place at the right time.
• Anticipate inventory needs around promotions, launches and key business moments while maximizing product performance.
• Keep our allocation systems, inventory information and reporting accurate so teams can make better, faster decisions.

Ready to Help Shape What’s Next?

This is more than moving inventory. It’s using data, curiosity and commercial instinct to influence how a Canadian fashion brand shows up for its customers.

Come help us shape the next 100 years of Reitmans.
