Job Description

WHY JOIN ALO?

Mindful movement. It’s at the core of why we do what we do at ALO—it’s our calling. Because mindful movement in the studio leads to better living. It changes who yogis are off the mat, making their lives and their communities better. That’s the real meaning of studio-to-street: taking the consciousness from practice on the mat and putting it into practice in life.

The Manager, Global Retail Technology Enablement plays a key role in shaping the future of ALO’s in-store technology ecosystem and omnichannel capabilities. Defining strategic vision and leading execution, this individual identifies opportunities to modernize POS, RFID, and omnichannel systems to enhance customer experience, improve inventory visibility, and drive productivity and scalable growth across markets. In parallel, this role ensures that operational policies and procedures evolve in alignment with system enhancements and platform changes — creating clear, consistent standards that enable seamless store execution globally.

By partnering cross-functionally with Digital, Retail Technology, Finance, and International teams, this role ensures that all retail capabilities and technologies— and the governance that supports them — evolve in alignment with enterprise growth priorities. Success in this role is measured through roadmap execution, platform adoption, improved omnichannel performance, inventory accuracy, system optimization, and scalable operational standards that support global consistency.
