Job description

Merrell exists to share the simple power of being outside with everyone. We believe the "outdoors" is a much broader space than just the mountain summit; it's any space beyond your front door.

Executive Planning & Cross-Functional Leadership:
  • Serve as a cross-functional partner across Commercial, Finance, Planning, Merchandising, Marketing, and Retail teams.
  • Develop executive-ready presentations and materials for leadership meetings, business reviews, strategic planning, sales meetings, and board discussions.
  • Represent strategic priorities in cross-functional forums and support alignment across planning cycles.

  • Performs duties consistent with the Company's AAP/EEO goals and policies.
  • Performs other duties as required/assigned by manager.
