• Experience collaborating directly with owner-side teams (store planning, brand design, construction).
• Excellent communication and leadership skills and are able to guide conversations, resolve conflicts, and build alignment.
• A positive, proactive, solution-oriented mindset and desire to continuously improve processes and outcomes.

Even better if you have:

• Experience leading multi-brand or enterprise-level retail programs.
