Retail operations leader optimizing inventory accuracy and delivering exceptional customer experiences.
What I'm looking for
I’m a dedicated retail operations leader with proven success leading high-volume merchandise operations at a campus bookstore. As an Assistant Department Manager, I independently manage daily inbound and outbound flows, coordinating shipments and resolving inventory discrepancies to keep inventory accuracy consistently strong.
I leverage Oracle SIM, RAS, and Zendesk to process purchase orders, returns, receiving, and fulfillment challenges. I also monitor licensed merchandise deliveries for accuracy and damage, and coordinate with vendors and construction teams when issues arise—plus I execute urgent, time-sensitive product launches for NCAA-winning teams.
Earlier, I built my operational foundation across multiple Old Navy roles, including Assistant Manager of Customer Operations and Product Operations Manager. I’ve overseen shipment processing, markdowns, floor sets, stockroom-to-floor transitions, onboarding, coaching, and escalated customer issue resolution aligned with brand standards.
