Core competencies include mastery of Open-To-Buy (OTB) planning, P&L ownership, and advanced merchandise analytics to drive high-margin profitability. Technical proficiency in SAP, CRM systems, and data visualization tools (like Power BI or Tableau) is essential for optimizing inventory throughput and forecasting trends.
