• Maintain strong relationships with internal stakeholders—including Store Operations, Omni‑Channel Experience, and Marketing—to ensure seamless integration of identity initiatives.
• Draft and deliver clear communication plans for key partners, outlining objectives, timelines, and expected outcomes of each initiative.

Essential Qualifications

• Knowledge of privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) and best practices for secure customer data handling.
• Prior experience working with AI‑enabled personalization engines or recommendation systems.
• Certification in project management (PMP, PRINCE2) or agile (CSM, SAFe) is a plus.
