WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

This leader will bring a strong combination of commercial acumen, operational excellence, and consumer obsession, with a proven ability to drive business results, elevate in-store experiences, and lead large-scale retail organizations.

  • Enable Cross-functional Execution
    Partner with key functions to ensure seamless alignment from strategy to store execution, enabling fast, agile responses to market and consumer shifts.
