Iryna Lazarevich's current jobs
I was promoted to assist the buyer for the $30M+ Apparel, Accessories & Jewelry team, and helped turn it from double-digit negative comps to double-digit positive comps, becoming #2 in performance in the company with one of the highest margin rates. I supported the buyer through the product development life cycle from concepts to production, worked with vendors’ design teams on CAD approvals, selected samples, and chose fabric and materials. I worked on promotional strategy and created lookbooks for 6 seasons a year to share the merchandising vision to the marketing team. I often managed all daily operations for weeks at a time as the buyer was on international buying trips. I singlehandedly managed 600+ SKUs of products and 300+ work-in- progress samples. I was able to increase sales in the Hat & Tote category by preselecting assortments and renegotiating costs with an existing vendor. Our efforts revitalized and expanded the Apparel line by researching trends and attending trade shows in New York and LA, and adapting what we learned for our customers.
Iryna Lazarevich's past jobs
CPWM had just been acquired by Bed Bath and Beyond when I was hired in the corporate Merchandising Division to support buyers in Rugs, which is an $80M business (at the time, second only to Furniture), and Tabletop Textiles, which is key to the company’s signature aesthetic. I supported daily operations including financial reporting documents, sample management for visual and advertising teams, maintaining SKUs, creating line sheets, and managing communications with stores, vendors, and buyers. I stepped in to run all day-to-day operations for the department when a buyer left the company and increased sales by assorting our Easter tabletop textiles with new trends.
My college internship was with a small wedding salon in Berkeley where I answered phones, scheduled appointments, maintained inventory and ordered fabric swatches, received shipments, did quality control of dresses on arrival, organized invoices, and reset fitting rooms.
During my college years, I worked as a server at a busy casual Italian restaurant in downtown San Francisco. Over time, I became the lead server, office manager, trainer, scheduler, and event manager, opened and closed the register, and always gave guests the best experience possible.
Gained experience in high-end retail, building client relationships, personal styling, merchandising, and inventory record maintenance.
Gained experience in customer service, brand marketing, and greatly increased skills in conversational English.
