We are looking for individuals who are passionate about the details. Qualified candidates take pleasure in getting to "do it all" at Giant Spoon, meaning you will gain experience with planning and buying across all channels - not just be relegated to one portion of the process, limiting potential for growth and holistic experience.

Inherent desire to learn more of the trends shaping consumer behavior
