Qualifications

• 2–4 years of experience supporting national retail, consumer products, retail operations, sales analytics, account management or a related function.

• Experience with retailer portals, forecasting, item setup, inventory management or point-of-sale reporting strongly preferred.

• Strong learning agility and the ability to quickly understand new tools, retailers, processes and business models.
• Clear and direct communication skills. You ask questions, surface concerns, challenge assumptions constructively and communicate blockers early.
• Strong organizational and project management skills with the ability to manage multiple deadlines and stakeholders simultaneously.
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where priorities and processes may evolve.

Responsibilities

• Support the day-to-day management of several large national retail accounts.
• Build strong working relationships with retailer buyers, planners, merchants, operations teams and other key partners.

• Analyze retailer sales and inventory trends, identify root causes behind performance changes and recommend actions.
• Partner with National Account Managers to improve forecasts, plan promotional lifts, identify incremental opportunities and proactively flag risks.
• Build strong internal cross-functional relationships with operations, finance, supply chain and marketing.
• Become highly proficient in retailer portals, reporting tools, item setup processes, forecasting systems and operational requirements.
• Coordinate new item setup, retailer documentation, packaging requirements and launch activities.
• Manage project timelines for retail displays, third-party vendors, creative approvals, shipments and retailer deadlines.
• Work across Skylight to find answers, resolve issues and keep projects moving when ownership or processes are not immediately obvious.
• Communicate risks, questions and blockers early and directly rather than waiting for problems to escalation.
