•  Support strategic planning and execution: understand our company-wide goals and KPIs and translate this into operational strategies and actions that support.

• Own end-to-end distribution logistics for your channel, ensuring on-time fulfillment and delivery, managing sales order and inventory accuracy, and driving continuous improvement through chargeback analysis, KPI tracking (e.g., OTIF, in-stocks), and retailer supply chain insights.

• Conduct weekly replenishment analysis to ensure proper inventory flow between internal and external supply chains. 
• Regular communication with regional buying teams to ensure warehouses are kept at healthy inventory levels through promoted and non promoted time periods.
• Manage all aspects of retailer forecasts (Supply Plan), including In-Stocks, Event Management, Execution of New and Discontinued items, Reducing Waste, Reporting, and Analytics
• Identify opportunities for store operational process improvements and help drive implementation with our store operations partners
• Build and maintain external and internal stakeholder relationships that will drive supply and demand efficiencies.
• Continuous Improvement:  Drive improvements in how we execute, based on the specific challenges or opportunities in your channel. 
• Project Management: Engage in and help create cross-functional projects and help drive them forward with relevant context and expertise from your channel.
