A day in the life

This role will work with partners across the organization to drive lululemon’s growth and transformation agenda, and will be specifically focused on work at the intersection of business and technology.

You will likely work with business partners from our Technology, Architecture, Product Management, Digital, Data, and Enterprise Planning teams. Each day will look different in your project-based role and may include activities like clarifying strategic questions, developing creative organizational solutions, facilitating workshops and cross-functional decision-making, and guiding enterprise investment planning processes.

This role is a rare career opportunity, with access to exciting projects typically delivered by external consulting firms, but with the benefit of relationships, visibility, time, and flexibility to see the transformation through and make sure the change sticks.
