• Analyze store, department, and planogram performance to optimize assortments, space allocation, and SKU counts based on store clusters, demographic attributes, capacity requirements, sales per square foot, and other relevant metrics.
• Provide analytics and reporting to support inventory management, including minimums, maximums, depth, holding capacity, and incorporating external data (e.g., store maps) to support optimal inventory in stores.
• Validate that merchant team assortment plans accurately reflect created planograms, including SKU assignments, initial set quantities, and compliance with space and legal restrictions.
• Coordinate the handoff for ordering to ensure site/SKU combinations match planograms.
• Organize and manage all supporting documentation for planogram development and cluster assignments, including authorized planogram copies, communication documents, and resources for planogram execution.
• Collaborate with merchant, marketing, store operations teams, and vendor partners to determine and coordinate displayed item assortments and presentations.
