Floor Space Allocator

A typical week tends to involve analyzing sales and productivity by category and store, drafting space allocation plans for the next reset cycle, coordinating with merchandising on assortment changes, and refining planograms for execution. Reset seasons drive intense periods — back-to-school, holiday, spring, post-holiday — where space decisions get made and rolled out at scale.

Coordination tends to span merchandising, store operations, visual merchandising, finance, and sometimes vendors who care deeply about their shelf footprint. Vendors lobbying for space can be a steady current — the brand that wants more facings, the new launch that needs a position, the underperformer fighting for survival. Decisions favor data, but politics is part of the room.

People who tend to thrive here are analytically minded, comfortable in spreadsheets and planning software, and steady under cross-functional pressure. If you crave creative work or struggle with the procedural rhythm, the role can feel narrow. If you find satisfaction in a category reset that lifts sales because of how you allocated the space, the role can be quietly central to retail performance.
