Business Analyst- Retail

About the role

AmeriLux is seeking a professional to turn retail data into decisions. You'll analyze sales, inventory, and returns across our retail partners to grow sales, improve margins, cut returns, and keep inventory lean. You'll work across Sales, Marketing, Product, Operations, and Supply Chain, and you'll be measured by the business improvements your insights drive, not the number of reports you produce.

Responsibilities

• Analyze POS, sales, inventory, and return data from partners including Home Depot, Lowe's, Menards, Do it Best, True Value, Ace, House-Hasson, ILDC, RONA, and Home Hardware
• Build dashboards and reports that surface trends, opportunities, and risks
• Investigate returns to root cause: product defects, shipping damage, packaging, or content errors
• Evaluate products by sales, margin, turns, and customer feedback to recommend assortment changes, enhancements, or discontinuations
• Measure promo effectiveness and shape future merchandising strategy
• Analyze inventory, forecasting, and system settings to improve availability and reduce excess
• Track competitor pricing and market trends to find growth opportunities
• Monitor and communicate key KPIs: sales growth, gross margin, inventory turns, fill rates, returns, and in-stock performance

Requirements

• Degree in Business, Analytics, Marketing, Finance, Supply Chain, or related field preferred
• 3 to 5 years in retail analytics, business intelligence, merchandising, category management, or sales analytics
• Advanced Excel (PivotTables, Power Query, XLOOKUP); Power BI, Tableau, or similar preferred
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
• A "why" mindset: you dig for the insight, then push it into a recommendation people act on
