Senior Analyst, Global Allocation

Be the hands-on engine of vendor allocation for the Global Allocation team. Working closely with the broader Global Allocation team and cross-functional partners, you will run pre-season and in-season allocation for assigned seasons and product groups: gathering and validating inputs, analyzing cost, capacity and footprint trade-offs, and turning them into clear, executable allocation recommendations for cross-functional partners. You will also keep allocation trackers, reports and leadership materials current so decisions are made on time and with the right data. This is an 8-month fixed-term role that suits an experienced analyst who can get up to speed quickly, own deliverables independently from the first weeks, and keep a fast-moving seasonal calendar on track.
