Space Planning Analyst

What does a Space Planning Analyst do?

At Bigfoot Beverages, we don’t just fill shelves—we shape what people reach for.​

As a Space Planning Analyst, you'll be the mastermind behind our product placements, ensuring that every beverage has its perfect spot. Your role is pivotal in maximizing retail space, boosting sales, and enhancing profitability. By collaborating with our Sales Team and utilizing space management software, you'll design schematics that not only look good but also drive results.​

What "doing it right" looks like for our Space Planning Analyst:

• Utilize space management software to create effective schematics tailored to account needs and promotions.

• Analyze sales data regularly to identify opportunities for product distribution and program improvements.

• Collaborate with Sales Teams, suppliers, and accounts to optimize retail space and profitability.

• Prepare and present proposals for resets, ensuring timely implementation and communication.

• Maintain strong relationships with suppliers and accounts through consistent communication and visits.

• Coordinate with the Space Planning Manager to address questions, concerns, and expectations.

• Allocate time in trade focusing on execution, display setup, and general account activity.

• Provide training to company personnel on proper submission of space planning requests.

• Attend marketing, sales, and company-wide meetings as required.

• Observe company safety guidelines and report any hazardous conditions or incidents.

What are we looking for in a Space Planning Analyst?

You might be the one if you:

• Have a keen eye for detail and a knack for organizing spaces efficiently.

• Possess strong analytical skills to interpret sales data and trends.

• Are proficient in Microsoft Office Suite and space management software.

• Demonstrate excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.

• Thrive in a collaborative environment and can manage multiple projects simultaneously.

• Have experience in sales, category management, or merchandising.​

What we need from you:

• Experience with sales, merchandising, or category management
  (You’ve worked with products on shelves and know what makes a layout work—or not.)

• Strong analytical skills—you’re comfortable working with data, spotting trends, and using reports to make smart recommendations

• Great communication skills, written and verbal
  (You can talk shop with sales reps and explain your vision to store managers or suppliers.)

• A sharp eye for detail and the ability to juggle multiple projects at once without breaking a sweat

• Familiarity with Microsoft Office, especially Excel, and a willingness to learn schematic software
  (We’ll train you, but you need to love living in the details.)

• A clean driving record and ability to lift up to 35 lbs regularly (this role splits time between the office and customer accounts)

It’d be great if you had some:

• Experience using space planning software (think: planogram tools, VIP, etc.)

• Background in beverage, CPG, or retail merchandising
  (Bonus if you’ve worked in or with stores on set execution.)

• A knack for visual layouts and how product placement influences shopper behavior

• Comfort presenting ideas to customers or internal teams
  (Whether it’s a full reset proposal or just a smarter shelf plan.)

• Curiosity about the “why” behind product flow and shelf performance
  (You’re someone who notices when the soda aisle layout just isn’t working.)
