• Design and execute data-driven demand and replenishment strategies aligned with sales performance, GMROI, inventory turns, and working capital targets.
• Manage high-volume seasonal demand curves, building pre-season inventory ramps, executing mid-season sell-through adjustments, and orchestrating end-of-season exit strategies.
• Monitor regional and store-level Weeks of Supply (WOS), directing inventory movement to accommodate weather-driven demand spikes, promotional campaigns, and off-shelf placements.
