Position Summary

Jada Toys is hiring a Senior Business Analyst to support our Target business, one of our most important US accounts and one that spans our full portfolio. You will own the data, reporting and retail math behind the account and serve as a day-to-day point of contact for Target’s buying and merchandising teams, working closely with the Senior Vice President of Global Sales.

Key Responsibilities

Account support

●       Serve as day-to-day lead with the buying teams and merchandising partners; build and hold relationships beyond the buyer seat so the business survives buyer turnover.

●       Support the Senior Vice President of Global Sales on account strategy across Jada’s portfolio in Target’s stores and digital channels.

●       Build line review materials: category recaps, competitive context and the data behind the sell-in story for each property.

●       Prepare the analysis behind discussions with Target on placement, promotions, markdowns, returns and annual terms.

●       Monitor in-store and online execution across assortment, pricing, promotions and content, and flag gaps early.

Analysis and reporting

●       Track POS and inventory weekly; spot risk early, size it and bring a recommended fix before it becomes a markdown conversation.

●       Own the retail math: cost/retail ladders, sell-through, turn, weeks of supply, promotional lift and post-event analysis.

●       Maintain the annual account plan, monthly phasing and Joint Business Plan (JBP) reporting, and track actuals against them.

●       Track trade spend, co-op and vendor income programs and report on ROI.

●       Build recurring reporting and dashboards for the account team and senior leadership.

Line planning and operations

●       Give Product Development the performance data and account needs that shape the line plan, including Target exclusives and licensor approval timelines.

●       Drive account forecasting with Demand Planning and Licensing, including POS/inventory and licensor forecasts, to protect in-stock and service levels.

●       Manage PO flow, VOP changes, DPCI setup and item maintenance, chargebacks, audits and vendor scorecards.

●       Work with Product Development, Marketing, Supply Chain, Finance and Licensing to keep account commitments on track.

Qualifications

We are seeking a highly organized, analytical and detail-oriented professional who wants to be close to the business behind one of the most important accounts in toys.

Required

●       4–6 years in sales, category or business analysis, demand planning or account support with large US mass retailers; Target experience is a strong plus.

●       Highly organized and detail-oriented, able to manage multiple priorities and deadlines without losing accuracy.

●       Comfortable with POS, inventory, sell-through and market share data, and able to turn it into a clear story that influences buyer decisions.

●       Strong relationship skills; comfortable working directly with buyers and presenting to Jada leadership.

●       Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.

Preferred

●       Toy, collectible, entertainment or licensed consumer products background, with exposure to licensor approval workflows.

●       Working knowledge of Target systems and processes: Partners Online, Greenfield, DPCI setup, VOP, vendor scorecards.

Compensation

●       Base salary: $95,000–$115,000, depending on location and experience.

●       Annual bonus target: 20%

●       Full benefits package, 401(k) with match, paid time off.
