• Resourceful and proactive, with the ability to investigate issues, identify solutions, and drive work to completion.
• Comfortable navigating both technical conversations and business discussions with a customer-focused mindset.
• Adaptable and energized by a fast-paced environment where no two days look exactly the same.

YOU HAVE

• 5+ years of experience supporting retail technology, store systems, IT operations, or a related technology environment.

• Experience coordinating projects, technology deployments, store openings, remodels, or enterprise technology rollouts.
