  • Proactively manage inventory risk through inter-store transfers, intake phasing, and replenishment exits.
  • Lead allocation strategy for new store openings, expansions, and key commercial moments.

In-Season Management

You’ll be responsible for:

  • Owning weekly trade reviews for your categories, providing clear insights, risks, and recommended actions.
  • Partnering with Planning on forecast re-phasing, inventory positioning, and OTB conversations.
  • Identifying missed demand and over-exposure early and driving corrective action.
  • Ensuring sustained availability of core and replenishment styles in line with sales trends.
  • Influencing markdown, promotional, and lifecycle decisions to protect margin and stock health.

Tools, Data & Process

You’ll also:

  • Act as a subject matter expert on allocation tools, data, and reporting.
  • Ensure accuracy and integrity of allocation inputs across stock, sales, and store attributes.
  • Drive continuous improvement of allocation processes, tools, and ways of working.
  • Support testing, implementation, and adoption of new allocation and planning systems.
  • Coach and support junior allocators, sharing best practice and raising overall team capability.

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Form CC-305

OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
