• Reporting & Analysis: Produce weekly, monthly‑to‑date, year‑to‑date, and seasonal trade analyses covering sales, stock, markdown, and margin performance across countries and product divisions.
• Deliver ad hoc analyses to support commercial decision‑making.
• Continuously improve existing planning reports and reporting efficiency.
• Test new planning tools and provide feedback to support process improvements.
• Merchandising Partnership: Manage divisional hindsight reviews, buy budgets, and range plans using historical performance and future commercial opportunities.
• Support buy sign‑off and buy placement in partnership with Merchandising.
• Lead size analysis and recommend sizing strategies.
• Conduct post‑buy evaluations and identify learnings for future seasons.
• Participate in divisional trading and planning meetings.
