Job description

We're looking for a Budget Analyst who can carry Teamwork and Active Listening at once without dropping either, here at JCPenney. This is $43,000 - $69,000 for 1 years of Delegation, a part-time schedule, and a junior stake in where JCPenney heads next.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams across JCPenney to hit shared goals
• Bridge Delegation and Mentoring so neither team works in the dark
• Steer JCPenney's Teamwork roadmap with both nerve and humility
• Sense when a Manhattan relationship needs a call, not an email
• Absorb 1 of context fast and start contributing sooner
• Read between the lines of what Manhattan customers actually need
• Own the day-to-day rhythm of general work across our Manhattan, KS operation

What You'll Bring

• Strong working knowledge of Multitasking and Mentoring
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
• A KS sensibility, or genuine curiosity about this market
• Demonstrated calm when a Manhattan, KS client changes scope mid-stream
• Working understanding of both Active Listening and Mentoring in real-world settings
• Familiarity with JCPenney-scale workflows, or the appetite to reach them

Three things define JCPenney: a Manhattan address, a fun-loving culture, and a near-religious devotion to Mentoring. We hold space for disagreement, then commit fully once the general call is made.

This junior role pays $43,000 - $69,000 and surrounds it with coaching, coverage, and hours that respect your weekends in KS.

Re-confirmed open this morning, the junior seat at JCPenney stays available.

Your Active Listening story isn't finished, and the next chapter might be a Budget Analyst role here.
