HireSetu's note

Built for the first two years

The experience bar stops at two years, and the degree list runs from a bachelor's to an MBA to retail operations management. Store-floor time counts in any form: selling, store ops, visual merchandising, category support. Someone moving across from another retailer's planning team fits just as well. You'll need to explain a layout decision out loud, since the role includes bringing newer team members up to speed on the process.

Merchandising maths on a floor plan

People hear space planner and picture interior design. There are no fixtures, finishes or mood boards here. You work out which category sits beside which, how much of the floor each one earns, and how that arrangement changes from store to store. Adjacency is the whole idea: what a shopper passes and what they see next. If you can argue for a category's placement using its sales per square foot, you're already thinking the way this team does.

Excel is the daily tool

Basic to intermediate Excel is the stated bar, and the real work runs on big sheets: store lists, category data, layout versions that get revised repeatedly. VBA and Power BI sit on the desirable side, and they're what strip out the copy-paste part of that. Any automation you've built, even for a college project, earns a line on your CV. Pivot tables, lookups and a tidy sheet will carry you further than a fancy dashboard.

The office and the store calendar

There's no remote option, so factor in the commute to the Bengaluru office. The plans feed new stores, remodels and category resets, which is where the deadline pressure comes from, and those cycles run on the retailer's calendar. The stores being planned sit in the US, so much of the context arrives over calls and shared documents. Check how the team handles that time-zone overlap, since it shapes the working day more than anything else here.
