We’re looking for a curious, technically minded, and motivated early-career professional to join our Creative Technologies team as an Associate Applications Analyst — with a unique opportunity to also support our Product Hub platform as a shared resource! This role sits at the intersection of art, technology, and enterprise data — supporting the platforms and tools that power our Design, Marketing, Stores Design & Construction, and Merchandising functions, as well as the master product data that flows across the enterprise.
From product concept and packaging to store environments, go-to-market campaigns, and the underlying product master data that enables it all, the systems we support help bring the BBW brand to life across every customer touchpoint. You’ll partner with creative and business teams, technical peers, vendor partners, and our procurement team — while learning industry-leading tools such as Centric, Digital Asset Management, Adobe Creative Cloud, CAD platforms, marketing workflow tools, and Oracle-based product data platforms.

• Help maintain accurate Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), documentation that's technical in nature, and data dictionaries.
• Coordinate vendor support tickets, issue elevations, enhancement requests, and release/upgrade activities — ensuring timely resolution and clear communication.
• Support the procurement lifecycle in partnership with senior analysts, leadership, and the Procurement team — including gathering requirements, participating in RFI/RFP evaluations, and reviewing vendor proposals.
 

Contribute to Projects & Enhancements
• Support project planning, documentation, and administrative activities across Creative Technology and Product Hub initiatives.
• Assist with translating business requests into functional requirements, process flows, and configuration or data specifications.
 

Testing & Solution Validation
• Contribute to test planning and execution across functional, integration, and user acceptance testing phases.
• Support defect tracking, resolution, and re-testing activities.
 

Continuous Improvement & Curiosity
• Look for opportunities to simplify workflows, reduce manual effort, and improve collaboration between creative, business, and technical teams.
• Share ideas that leverage technology (including automation, integrations, and AI-enabled tools) to elevate the creative process and improve data quality.
 

Collaboration & Communication
• Partner with Design, Marketing, Stores Design & Construction, and Merchandising business users, as well as Product Hub data stewards, integration teams, Procurement, and external vendors.
