  • Lead inventory builds for new store openings, remodels, and special retail projects from concept through
    execution
  • Create and maintain allocation parameters, store grades, and min/max settings so the system scales with
    the business
  • Partner cross-functionally with merchandising, planning, distribution, and retail management to ensure
    consistency from concept through customer experience
  • Contribute to seasonal hindsight and help refine allocation strategies as Buck Mason grow

    • Required Skills

  • 1-3 years of experience in allocation, replenishment, or merchandise planning, preferably in apparel or
    specialty retail
  • Advanced Excel skills and experience with allocation or planning systems
