  • Competitor Analysis: Conduct regular benchmarking and analysis of competitor assortments, pricing strategies, and promotional tactics. Use insights to identify whitespace opportunities and differentiate our product offerings in the market.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Foster strong partnerships with cross-functional teams including design, marketing and operations. Collaborate closely to align merchandising strategies with business goals and ensure seamless execution of initiatives.
