  • Set and manage productivity targets and inventory goals at the category level, developing tools and models for business alignment.
  • Facilitate forecasting consensus sessions, integrating inputs and recommended forecasts for review, while promoting collaboration across commercial, sales, marketing, and finance teams.
  • Develop and oversee sales order booking processes and checkpoints.
  • Act as the primary liaison with global demand and supply planning to ensure timely purchasing decisions and address capacity constraints.
  • Partner with transportation teams to minimize variability and ensure a smooth flow of goods.
  • Champion the development of Direct Ship capabilities across all categories, enhancing processes and outcomes.
  • Lead and participate in projects aimed at continuous improvement and organizational leverage.
