Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Partner closely with Operations, Merchandising, Finance, and Inventory Planning to align on forecasts, product flow, and execution strategies
  • Support high-volume seasonal peaks (e.g., holidays) with proactive planning and risk mitigation strategies
  • Influence stakeholders and drive change across functions without direct authority

Project Leadership
  • Lead enterprise inventory control initiatives, including system enhancements, process redesign, and network optimization
  • Manage special projects as assigned to support evolving business needs

  • Experience:

    • Experience with AI-enabled warehouse technologies and optimization tools preferred
  • Leadership & Skills:
    • Proven ability to lead and develop high-performing teams
    • Strong change management and cross-functional influencing skills
    • Demonstrated success driving large-scale process improvements and operational excellence
    • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making capabilities
