• Analyze retail performance (sell-out, inventory levels, margins, markdowns, store KPIs) and turn insights into clear actions for your stakeholders.
• Work closely with finance on KPIs and retail math, ensuring your plans align with commercial targets and profitability goals.
• Connect with country teams in France and Spain and partner with the sales/account teams to align on plans, risks and opportunities.
• Present your findings and recommendations using Excel and reporting tools, supporting decision making with clear and structured analysis.

• 3-5+ years of experience in retail / fashion / sportswear, in roles such as:
• • Assortment Planner
  • Business Planner
  • Merchandise / Merchandising Planner
  • Demand or Inventory Planner (with strong retail focus)
• Strong analytical skills and advanced Excel; you're comfortable working with large data sets and doing retail math (margins, markups/markdowns, OTB, stock KPIs).
• Experience working close to finance and sales, with a good understanding of KPIs and commercial performance.
• Proven stakeholder / account management skills - you're confident in client-facing discussions and can connect different teams and markets.
• A proactive, fast learner who enjoys taking ownership and can quickly understand new tools, processes and account structures.
• Fluent in English (other European languages are a plus, but not required).

• Work with an iconic global brand in the sports & fashion space.
• Take real ownership over key accounts and banners across multiple European markets.
• Join an international, cross-functional environment with exposure to sales, finance, merchandising and planning.
• Perfect for someone who wants to grow their career in planning while working in a dynamic, data-driven retail setting.
