• Evaluate and prioritize investment across DTC platforms, balancing near-term profitability with long-term channel and brand-building value. 

Media, Affiliates & Commercial Strategy: 

• Partner with the media and affiliates organization to drive end-to-end ownership of commercial strategy - linking media investment, affiliate commissions, and promotional spend to sales, margin, and ROI.

• Lead sales and margin performance analysis, including POS and platform-level reporting, to surface trends and inform executive decision-making. 

• Build and refine financial models that improve forecast accuracy and enable faster, better decisions in a fast-moving channel. 

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Process Improvement:
