About The Position

A role with Space, Planning and Transitions (“SPT”) means you’re on a mission to create better in-store experiences for our Store Team Members and guests. We are responsible for ensuring the right item has the right amount of space in the right location in the right store at the right time. We do this by first leveraging analytics and partnership with our Merchandising and Store Operations teams to create a transition plan to determine how much and when change is needed to deliver assortment and presentation newness in our stores. 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”). Finally, we complete the transition by building a presentation (often referred to as “POG”) and creating a location for our assortment within each store using additional analysis, further partnership with our Visual Merchandising and Merchant cross-functional partners and a set of presentation objectives. As a Senior Manager in SPT you'll take the lead as the primary SPT partner for your Division(s), working closely with Merchandising Divisionals and Directors, Planning Divisionals, Store Operations, Marketing and Visual Merchandising partners. You will leverage guest, financial and operational data and analytics as well as your partner inputs to create the Division(s) transition labor hour plan as well as the space allocation and overall presentation objectives. You will also lead a global business unit of SPT business partners and specialists who will own the execution of each of the individual transition projects. These activities include developing timing and actions, leading cross-functional teams (CFT), and holding others accountable to key deadlines and quality expectations. Lastly, you will be responsible for hiring, training and onboarding, coaching and development and workload management for the SPT team. Core responsibilities of this job are described within this job description. Job duties may change at any time due to business needs.
