  5. Manage forecast location splits, roll-overs and allocation rules to optimize service and reduce obsolescence and cost exposure.
  6. Drive improvements in the Demand Planning processes, including DIO optimization.
  7. Support implementation of demand management best practices/strategies across categories and accounts.
  8. Understand and communicate supply chain implications and solutions (when appropriate) of category-specific business plans.
  9. Work closely with Supply Chain and S&OP colleagues in support of tactical execution which meets business objectives.

About You:

You perform at the highest level possible, and you appreciate a performance culture fueled by authentic caring.
