Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

My name is Paola, I am a student in BUT Techniques de Commercialisation, specializing in International Business, and I have a versatile profile focused on retail, commerce, and operational management.

Through my experiences, particularly at JD Sports (as a sales associate, supply chain assistant, and merchandising intern) and at Montale Paris, a niche perfume house, I have developed a comprehensive approach to point of sale, combining customer relations, product presentation, flow management, and brand enhancement.

At Montale, I refined my sense of luxury, personalized advice, and high-end customer experience, while discovering the specific demands of a more selective environment.

Thanks to these varied experiences, I am able to adapt to different commercial environments, enhance a brand's image, and optimize its operational efficiency. I can bring a cross-functional vision, great rigor, as well as a genuine product and customer sensitivity to your projects.

During my internship as a merchandiser at JD Sports, I contributed to product display by following the brand's visual merchandising guidelines. My role consisted of strategically organizing shelves to optimize product attractiveness, taking into account trends, stock rotations, and key commercial periods (promotions, new collections, etc.).

I participated in receiving deliveries, processing merchandise, labeling, and stocking shelves, ensuring compliance with presentation standards. I also managed facing, regular restocking, and maintained order and cleanliness in the sales area.

This internship allowed me to develop my observational skills, my field efficiency, as well as my ability to work in a team and meet the visual requirements of a major retail brand focused on streetwear and sports.
