As I moved from Assistant Merchandise Planner to Associate, I was able to take my learnings and skills into this role while taking on complete ownership of my classes. Owning my classes during monthly OTB processes has allowed me to develop strategies with buying partners and planning managers to ensure my classes succeed. Developing line plans focused on key attributes using historical data to project rental trend and receipt needs allows buying to allocate units to essential parts of our business. Prioritizing flexibility allows deep dives into What-If scenarios or ad hoc analysis to provide categories with all the tools needed to keep up with business trend.
