What You'll Do
As a Merchandise Allocator, you will play a critical role positioning the products Canadians desire by optimizing the allocation and replenishment of merchandise in our store network.

  • Product Flow Optimization: Coordinate with distribution centers to monitor inbound and outbound shipments, ensuring efficient product flow and minimizing stockouts or excess inventory in store.
  • Sales Performance Monitoring: Track and analyze store-level sales performance metrics to identify opportunities for improvement or adjustment in merchandise allocation strategies.
  • Reporting and Analysis: Prepare regular reports for management review summarizing key metrics related to inventory management, allocation decisions, and sales performance.
  • Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams such as buying, planning, supply chain, and store operations to gather insights, align strategies, and optimize overall business performance.

What You Bring

  • Bachelor's degree in business administration, supply chain management, or a relative experience.
  • Previous experience in allocations, inventory management, or retail merchandising is highly desirable.
  • Strong analytical skills with a proficiency in Excel. Experience in O9, Power BI, ThoughtSpot, Alteryx or other data analysis tools would be considered an asset.
  • Excellent attention to detail coupled with the ability to make quick decisions based on complex datasets.
  • Understanding of retail math and retail KPIs, such as sell-through rates, weeks of supply, turn, service levels and in-stocks.
  • Effective communication skills to collaborate with internal teams and external partners.
  • Ability to adapt and problem solve in a fast-paced environment while managing top priorities and expectations.
