In this highly visible position with accountability for project delivery, team management, and significant interaction with senior company executives.

You will regularly be posed with complex business questions and will be asked to develop an approach, analytical plan, and a recommendation that will be presented to senior leadership to guide tangible decisions. To lead that work, you will need to manage the project, including designing and executing the analytical plan and communicating a cohesive and concise story around the work. You will need resourcefully leverage learnings from your past work experience, your internal network, internal systems, and external data sources. Recommendations will include practical solutions that improve Burlington’s off-price execution.

This job requires exceptional problem solving skills, strong analytical capabilities, and great communication skills (written, through presentations, and spoken).

Your accountabilities will include building your own team’s capabilities, so this role requires a development mindset with previous team leadership experience.
