• Building and managing a network of approved suppliers to ensure consistent, high‑quality execution globally.
• Partnering with regional teams to balance global consistency with local market nuance and retailer requirements.
• Offering counsel to regional VM counterparts as they execute global guidelines in‑market.

• Creative/design background (interior, product, or architectural design).
• Strong visual communication skills with experience in 3D visuals, planograms, or layouts, either hands‑on or via agencies/suppliers.
