- Maintain department records and assist with general administration, brand meeting agendas, market prep, reporting & analysis, coop, T & D, sample procurement/management, creation/maintenance of brand activation calendars

**WHAT YOU'LL BRING**:

- You are a creative thinker who is willing to take calculated risks with an ability to source and foster new opportunities to grow the business
- You love product (beauty is your jam), understand consumer trends and behaviour, and inspire fearlessness in everything that you do
- You have a Bachelor’s degree or college diploma in retail management (or a related field) - an MBA would be a huge bonus

- You're curious, a go-getter, take ownership and responsibility for your work
