- Maintain retailer PIM and vendor portal data, ensuring SKU dimensions, weights, product copy, and imagery remain current as new items and packaging launch.
- Monitor fill rates, on-time shipments, and chargeback exposure, collaborating with Quality and Compliance to resolve discrepancies proactively.
- Oversee warehouse execution for retail and wholesale orders, coordinating with distribution center and 3PL teams to ensure pick, pack, and labeling accuracy according to account-specific routing guides.
