- 5+ years of project or program management experience, ideally in retail, e-commerce, marketing, or seasonal/event-driven environments.
- Proven track record managing complex, cross-functional initiatives with multiple stakeholders and tight, immovable deadlines.

- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to brief senior leaders concisely.
- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Operations, or a related field; PMP or equivalent certification a plus.
