You will execute initial allocations of seasonal assortments to deliver the most premium consumer experience in Nike stores and on Nike.com. You will review sales trends and stock levels in-season, continuously making adjustments to maximize inventory productivity and profitability. You will understand store, style, color and size level selling performance and work within our allocation systems to optimize product distribution at each of those levels. You will manage multiple sources of product within a complex supply chain network as well as work closely with stores if stock rebalancing is required.
Business acumen is a must as you will analyze a variety of retail metrics including sell-through, turn, weeks of supply, and gross margin in order to make good decisions and drive sales. You will share business results in the context of planned and forecasted sales and inventories on a weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual basis. In partnership with the Planning and Merchandising teams, you will develop store-level distribution strategies for upcoming seasons based on analysis of current sales trend, selling history, and current and projected levels to achieve optimal inventories. You will identify opportunities and share them cross-functionally to ensure that all are working together to achieve financial goals.
Strong written and verbal communication skills are also required in this highly collaborative environment. The Allocation Analyst will partner closely with a wide variety of other functions including Merchandising, Planning, Product Presentation, Brand, Marketing, Supply Chain, Field Operations, and Field Leadership in order to be successful.
