Are you a detail-oriented professional with a passion for numbers, data analysis, and retail operations? careerzynith, a forward-thinking organization dedicated to empowering analytical talent, is partnering with one of the most recognized names in global retail pharmacy to bring on a Remote Merchandise Analytics Specialist for a six-month contract engagement. This role offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the fast-paced world of merchandise planning, reporting, and forecasting while working entirely from the comfort of your home office.
Our client operates an extensive retail pharmacy network serving millions of customers daily, with a vast Front End business encompassing thousands of products across multiple categories. The Merchandise Planning Analytics team, supported by careerzynith, is responsible for delivering actionable insights, building analytical tools, and producing executive-level recaps that drive strategic decision-making for over 100 merchants and 40 planners. As an Entry Level Data Entry Clerk on this team, you will play a critical role in shaping how product performance is tracked, analyzed, and optimized at the item level.
This is more than a typical data entry position — it is an immersive introduction to retail merchandising analytics, category management, and forecasting. If you have a knack for working with large data sets, an intermediate to advanced command of Microsoft Excel, and a desire to grow within the analytics field, this opportunity is designed for you.
The Remote Merchandise Analytics Specialist position blends traditional data entry responsibilities with higher-level analytical work. Rather than simply inputting numbers, you will be entrusted with the analysis and synthesis of thousands of Own Brand (private label) items, producing recaps that inform critical business decisions. Your work will directly influence forecasting accuracy, sales strategy, and inventory optimization across a multi-billion-dollar retail operation.
At careerzynith, we believe in cultivating talent. This role is ideal for early-career professionals who have completed a Bachelor’s degree and are eager to apply their academic background in a real-world setting. Whether your degree is in analytics, finance, business, mathematics, or a related field, this position will allow you to refine your skills while contributing meaningfully to a high-impact project.
careerzynith is committed to providing a flexible, supportive remote work environment. This position is 100% remote, allowing you to work from anywhere within the Central Standard Time (CST) zone. The standard schedule is Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM CST, with a one-hour lunch break from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM. While hours can be flexible based on personal productivity preferences, candidates must commit to a minimum of 30 hours per week to fulfill business needs. This arrangement provides the autonomy to structure your workday while maintaining consistent availability for team collaboration and deliverables.
To thrive in this role, you will need a combination of technical acumen, analytical curiosity, and interpersonal savvy. The ideal candidate is someone who can dive deep into data without losing sight of the broader business context. You should be comfortable navigating ambiguity, asking the right questions, and translating raw numbers into stories that inform strategy.
Joining careerzynith as a Remote Merchandise Analytics Specialist is more than a short-term contract — it is a career-launching opportunity. You will gain exposure to the inner workings of a major retail pharmacy’s merchandise planning function, building a portfolio of analytical work that demonstrates your ability to deliver insights at scale. The six-month contract has the potential for extension or conversion to a permanent role based on performance and business needs. Throughout your engagement, you will have access to mentorship, professional development resources, and the chance to sharpen skills that are highly transferable across the retail, e-commerce, and consumer goods industries.
careerzynith is built on the principles of flexibility, empowerment, and excellence. We partner with leading organizations to deliver high-quality analytical talent, and we treat every team member as a valued professional. Our culture emphasizes:
While specific compensation details will be discussed during the interview process, careerzynith offers competitive contract rates commensurate with experience and skills. As a remote contractor, you will enjoy the benefits of working from home, flexible scheduling within the required hours, and the opportunity to build your professional network within the retail analytics space. Depending on contract terms, you may also be eligible for performance-based incentives and potential conversion to a full-time role with comprehensive benefits.

This is your opportunity to apply your Excel expertise, analytical mindset, and retail knowledge in a role that truly makes an impact.
