This is a highly visible, cross-functional role that partners with PD/Design, Regulatory, Demand Planning, Sales/Marketing, and Finance to optimize inventory position and minimize out-of-stocks and excess/obsolescence risk. The role suits a strategic operator who thrives on data-driven decision-making, process rigor, and cross-functional influence in a fast-paced, trend-sensitive environment, and who monitors inventory performance, drives data accuracy, and identifies opportunities for continuous improvement.

- Own OTIF performance for finished goods: monitor delivery against plan, identify at-risk orders proactively, and communicate schedule risk to Sales/Planning stakeholders in advance.

- Lead troubleshooting and root cause analysis for supply disruptions, line downtime, component shortages, and quality holds; drive CMs to corrective action plans (CAPA) and verify effectiveness of fixes.

Bill of Materials (BOM) Management
