Employee career progression into corporate

Hi everyone!
I’m curious about career progression in fashion retail companies such as Aritzia, Arc’teryx, Lululemon, Holt Renfrew, Zara, H&M, and similar brands.

Beyond store leadership, how realistic is it to transition into corporate roles such as buying, merchandising, planning, allocation, marketing, or e-commerce?

Do these companies actively encourage interested retail staff to move to those corporate positions or is the expectation generally that employees continue building their careers only within store operations?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences or observations, whether positive or negative. Thanks!
