Our focus has always been bringing our customers a constant stream of high-quality brands and on-trend merchandise at extraordinary savings. All while providing a fun and exciting treasure hunt experience. As part of our team, you will experience :

Our Corporate headquarters are in Dublin, CA, we have 3 buying offices in key markets in New York City, Los Angeles, and Boston, and 8 distribution centers nationwide. With 2023 revenues of $20.4 billion, we are a Fortune 500 company who is committed to providing an inclusive work environment with continuous learning opportunities and development for our teams.

General Purpose : The Senior Analyst of Store Payroll Budgeting and Planning will drive and execute the end-to-end annual planning / budgeting cycle for Store Payroll, which funds labor expenses in all Ross and dd's stores. Using a range of data sources and key assumptions, the Senior Analyst will create the annual Budget and 5-Year Plan for Store Payroll, reflecting the labor required to operate all stores throughout the year. In this process, the Senior Analyst will ensure that the Budget / Plan accounts for new initiatives, adjustments to our store operations, new technology that drives efficiency, or changes to our strategy (for example, the launch of our Ross-branded credit card) that require updates to how we plan labor in Stores. In addition to "core" planning activities, the Senior Analyst will assist with additional analysis on Store Payroll (for example, budget variance explanations), and will contribute to executive-facing materials that explain our annual Budget and 5-Year Plan to executive leadership. Lastly, the Senior Analyst will execute changes (e.g., new file structures, new systems) to make the Store Payroll planning and budgeting processes more efficient. NOTE : This position is focused on the planning, budgeting, and analysis of Store Payroll expense, and sits within the Store Finance team. This role is NOT responsible for issuing employee paychecks or administering employee payroll. The base salary range for this role is $77,900 - $117,050.

  • Own and update our wage rate model, which drives assumptions about average hourly wage rate by position, by month, by chain, factoring-in assumptions about minimum wage growth, wage inflation, turnover, and annual employee merit increases
  • Execute efficiency improvements in how we budget, plan, and manage all Store Payroll expenses
  • Implement changes / improvements to budget file architecture, data sources, and the use of key systems
  • Mitigate potential issues, challenges, or risks during the annual budgeting process
