  • I held the category captain management position and would run detailed data reports using Circana total market data along with Meijer ALR data to show how Meijer was performing against total market.
  • I would meet monthly with the Buyers, assistant buyers, and director of SKA and garment care segments to speak of category trends and where Meijer was winning and where there was room for improvement.
  • I was in charge of both Review Camp and Bazaar Voice databases, which were our review and ratings systems to maintain reviews across the entire Hamilton Beach Brand product lines and generating new reviews through campaigns with outside consumers.
  • After collecting the reviews I worked with the respective retail teams to make sure reviews were flowing correctly to their sites.
  • I would additionally work with our quality team to make sure negative reviews were being handled for the given products so that engineering could address product issues.
  • I would pull reports for different teams on how items were doing and where star ratings were for given products and the trends of reviews across different product lines.
