What is retail space planning?

A Retail Space Planning job involves designing and optimizing store layouts to enhance customer experience, maximize product visibility, and improve sales. Professionals in this role analyze sales data, customer traffic patterns, and merchandising strategies to create efficient retail spaces. They collaborate with store managers, marketing teams, and suppliers to ensure effective product placement. Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and knowledge of retail trends are essential for success in this field.

To thrive in Retail Space Planning, you need strong analytical abilities, attention to detail, and knowledge of merchandising principles, often supported by a degree in business, marketing, or a related field. Familiarity with planogram software, inventory management systems, and retail data analytics tools is typically expected, and certifications in retail management or visual merchandising can be advantageous.

Retail Space Planners often need to balance competing priorities such as maximizing product visibility, increasing sales per square foot, and aligning with brand standards while working within the constraints of store layouts and inventory levels. Collaborating closely with buying, merchandising, and operations teams means frequent adjustments based on sales data, seasonal trends, and new product launches. Adapting quickly to changes and finding innovative ways to optimize limited space are key aspects of the daily workflow. Successfully overcoming these challenges can lead to greater store profitability and recognition for creative problem-solving.

How do you become a retail space planner?

Job Description/Responsibilities
Location: Remote (must be based in Dallas, Cincinnati, Des Moines, or Las Vegas)
This Space Planning Analyst role is built for someone who enjoys turning data into action at the shelf. You'll combine shopper insights, category analytics, and space planning expertise to develop recommendations that improve category performance and influence retailer decisions. This is more than planogram execution-you'll partner with internal teams and customers to shape shelving strategies, solve business challenges, and bring category insights to life. If you're equally comfortable analyzing data and presenting recommendations, this role offers the opportunity to make a measurable impact in the market.
What You'll Do
  • Turn shopper, category, and sales data into shelving strategies that improve performance, shopper flow, and category growth
    • Evaluate planogram effectiveness and identify opportunities to optimize assortment, share of shelf, and product placement
    • Partner with internal teams and retailers to deliver fact-based recommendations supported by compelling visuals and insights
    • Lead planogram and shelf reset initiatives, ensuring strong execution, data integrity, and alignment across stakeholders
    • Support category and assortment projects that help retailers and customers unlock new growth opportunities

Qualifications/Requirements
Required:
• Bachelor's degree in Business, Analytics, or a related field
• 2+ years of experience in space planning, category management, retail analytics, or a related discipline
• Experience with planogram software (e.g., Blue Yonder/JDA, Spaceman, Apollo, SMSB) and syndicated data sources (e.g., Circana, Nielsen)
• Strong analytical skills with Excel and data visualization tools such as Power BI or Tableau
Preferred:
• Experience integrating syndicated data and space management tools to develop shelving and category recommendations
• Experience in the alcohol beverage, CPG, or retail industries
• Familiarity with convenience, drug, or value retail channels
Culture and Benefits
A career at Sazerac offers you the opportunity to reach your full potential as part of a creative, decisive, high-performance team. Sazerac values the needs and wants of our team members and offers inclusive benefits to attract and retain the best talent. Our culture is built upon the values of hard work, diligence and personal responsibility.
Sazerac Team Members enjoy:

  • Comprehensive Benefits from Day One including medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance.
  • Family Coverage: Options to cover family members, including domestic partners.
  • 401(k) Plan: Immediate access to a matching 401(k) plan.
  • Flexible Time Away: Enjoy paid time off (PTO), holidays, and parental leave.
  • Mental Health and Wellness: Access to mental health care and wellness incentive programs.
  • Educational Support: Benefit from tuition reimbursement and our scholarship program for dependents of Sazerac team members.
  • Fun Extras: Enjoy branded apparel, fun events, and a team member bottle purchase program.
  • Training and Development: Opportunities for professional growth and development.

The annual salary range for this role is $92,000-138,000. Final compensation will be based on relevant experience, qualifications, geographic location, and internal pay equity considerations.
