In partnership with Retail, Visual Merchandising and PR and Communications, you will also develop product actions and promotions, including trunk shows, pop-up stores and sales events. Other responsibilities include coordinating licensed-product buys and external partners, tracking shipments and deliveries, preparing seasonal product information and training retail teams.
