About the Role

This role combines strategic finance and operational analytics, ideally suited for someone with M&A experience and an MBA from a top-tier business school such as Wharton.

- Identify margin leakage in freight, returns, markdowns, and fulfillment costs.
- Pricing & Promotion Strategy
- Develop dynamic pricing models incorporating elasticity, competitive landscape, sell-through velocity, and contribution margin.
- Evaluate promotion structures (BOGO, tiered discounts, seasonal sales) and quantify ROI, customer lift, and cannibalization impact.
- Partner with the Merchandising and Marketing teams to align price ladders to margin targets and inventory strategy.
- Logistics, Shipping & Supply Chain Cost Optimization
- Analyze inbound/outbound freight data, parcel carrier mix, zone-based shipping efficiency, and warehouse handling costs.
- Collaborate with Supply Chain on cost reduction initiatives such as shipment consolidation, DTC vs. store fulfillment trade-offs, and return logistics optimization.
- Forecasting & Performance Insights
- Support weekly/monthly business reviews (WBR/MBR), providing insights on sell-through, margin drivers, promotions, and assortment health.
- Build scenario-based models for inventory planning, pricing events, and market demand shifts.
- Strategic Initiatives & M&A Support
- Assist in evaluating strategic targets in retail/eCommerce (e.g., brand acquisitions, vertical integration, DTC expansions).
- Build synergy models focused on supply chain efficiency, SKU cross-leverage, and scale-based pricing power.
- Participate in post-merger integration efforts tied to merchandising, pricing, and fulfillment alignment.
Qualifications

Nice to have
