Key job responsibilities

- Coordinate with launch teams, operations, and Category to align assigned suppliers, item selection, and delivery requirements with site needs, launch schedules, and volume demands

- Assist in developing and implementing ordering strategies that account for diverse site configurations (e.g., co-located vs. standalone), optimizing plans while operating within site constraints

- Drive integration projects and change management initiatives in alignment with senior management, coordinating between partners and internal stakeholders

- Monitor procurement plans and escalate risks or gaps to leadership as network growth, new site launches, and operational requirements evolve

- Manage all administrative tasks required to establish new sites and enable ordering, including system setup, catalog configuration, and supplier alignment

- Conduct weekly cycle count management to maintain inventory accuracy and identify discrepancies

- Resolve procurement-related tickets and escalations in a timely manner, supporting intake process establishment across sites
