A clear vision, unwavering commitment to our customers, and the passion of our thousands of employees across the country. Job Description Nearly 100 years of retail. And we’re still changing.

What You’ll Do Partner with our Buying team to understand each season’s product and customer strategy and translate it into smart allocation decisions. Analyze performance across stores and digital channels, spotting trends and adjusting inventory based on what our customers are telling us. Connect the dots between Buying, Planning and Distribution to make sure the right product is in the right place at the right time. Anticipate inventory needs around promotions, launches and key business moments while maximizing product performance. Keep our allocation systems, inventory information and reporting accurate so teams can make better, faster decisions. Ready to Help Shape What’s Next? This is more than moving inventory. It’s using data, curiosity and commercial instinct to influence how a Canadian fashion brand shows up for its customers. Come help us shape the next 100 years of Reitmans.
