- Share market insight with Category, Marketing, and Design partners to inform launches and campaigns.
- Third-Party Supplier Management
- Manage relationships with third-party promo suppliers, acting as the primary category contact.
- Support negotiations on pricing, MOQs, lead times, decoration capabilities, and service levels.
- Establish scalable internal supplier onboarding processes that reduce friction and accelerate access to new promotional products.
- Track supplier performance and collaborate on continuous improvement.
- Inventory Enablement (Across Merch)
- Partner with Stock and Planning teams to support improvements in availability, stock turns, and OOS reduction.
- Provide category insight, promotional drivers, and demand context to support forecasting and replenishment decisions.
- Collaborate with existing owners to identify out-of-stock risks, excess exposure, and lifecycle decisions.
- Support refinement of inventory policies (weeks of cover, safety stock, replenishment cadence) in partnership with Stock and Planning teams.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Work closely with the Internal Manufacturing Category Manager to align demand drivers and roadmap timing with inventory readiness.
- Partner with Marketing to support launch readiness and promo storytelling.
- Act as a collaborative category voice with Operations and Supply Chain, supporting continuous improvement initiatives.
