Are you ready to turn data-driven decisions into winning retail strategies?
Timberland is looking for a  Retail Allocator intern to play a key role in ensuring the right product reaches the right store at the right time across EMEA.

How you will make a difference

Skills that will make you succeed:

• You are proactive and comfortable taking ownership, even when facing new or ambiguous tasks—your initiative helps move projects forward.

• You are curious and eager to learn new tools, especially analytics platforms, reporting environments, and product systems (no prior expertise needed—just motivation).
