Then, we initiate each transition by analyzing and allocating the appropriate amount of space for every business category for every store (often referred to as “adjacency”).

You will lead a global team in India to bring space strategies to life and ensure accurate execution across store ties and adjacency outputs. You will engage merchandising partners to develop and evolve adjacency direction in support of new store and remodel programs. You will also lead special projects related to new merchandising strategies, asset protection initiatives, small format space solutions, and planned fixture configurations.
