• Liaise across departments (Marketing, Creatives, branches/stores) and external partners (agencies, sister companies) to align on priorities and standards
• Support retail/store operations as needed, including inventory management and store coordination
• Provide basic digital content support (social media assets, creative production) as required
• Take on undefined or newly arising special projects with minimal supervision

• Comfortable with ambiguity and able to independently manage evolving special projects
