Not only are you a Grade A planner and organizer, but you know how to engage a diverse team, set clear standards, remove barriers, and ensure accountability. You’re no stranger to tight timelines and competing priorities, and you’re a superb communicator, able to interpret data in a relevant way, translate complex technical specifications into concrete requirements, and encourage and equip everyone around you to make sound decisions and do their best work.

Developing and maintaining performance-based store tiering/segmentation, and allocation and disposition processes.
Collaborating with a third party fulfillment center for inventory availability and acting as liaison between fulfillment center and retailer to ensure compliance for on-time order shipment.
Creating strategies and tracking KPI performance to drive continuous improvement against JBP objectives (e.g. forecast accuracy, hit rate, days on hand, IS/OSA, OTIF).
Designing, maintaining, and automating KPI dashboards by leveraging internal systems and retailer portals.
Driving analysis of sales, financial and operational performance data (e.g., modeling, predictive analytics) to identify key insights and opportunities to improve forecast accuracy.
Collaborating to build the sales and shipment forecast.
Aligning forecast assumptions in support of special events (e.g. new product launches, MOD transitions, marquee events).
Managing gaps between customer POs and retail forecasts.
