  • Analyze sales, shipment, sell-thru, inventory, and other relevant data to support business decisions and improve channel performance.
  • Build strong relationships with distributors, customers, and internal stakeholders to better understand the market and drive execution.
  • Help establish processes, tools, and best practices as Arrow continues to build out the Channel Management function.

Requirements

  • Comfortable working with large data sets and translating information into practical, actionable business recommendations.
  • Strong proficiency in Excel; experience with business intelligence or data visualization tools is a plus.
