• Help improve inventory productivity, aged and excess inventory, freight and fulfillment economics, procurement decisions, cost-to-serve visibility, and working capital.

Strategic Analysis and Leadership

• Lead, coach, and develop the Manager, FP&A, with clear ownership of recurring deliverables and ad hoc analysis.

• Maintain consistent KPI definitions and reporting frameworks across channels and functions.
• Own the core planning, forecast, long-range plan, and cash models, along with executive and board materials.
• Set priorities across competing requests and know when to automate, simplify, or decline work that does not create sufficient value.

• At least 7 years of progressive finance leadership experience.
• The ability to translate complex analysis into clear recommendations and executive-level communication.
• A track record of leading through influence in a highly cross-functional environment.
• Strong judgment, attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and stakeholder-management skills.
• An enterprise mindset, intellectual curiosity, and commercial orientation, with the ability to weigh trade-offs across growth and profitability.
• A hands-on leadership style and comfort working with a lean team while building scalable capabilities.
• A direct, transparent approach and the ability to challenge constructively while maintaining trust.
