Surface issues (e.g., uncompetitive pricing, low availability, gaps in Google Product Listing Ads (PLA), findability on site) and follow through with suppliers and cross‑functional partners to resolve them.
Track and maintain SKU health metrics including violations, reviews, incidents, speed, and returns.
Use customer feedback and incident data to identify root causes and propose corrective actions.
Execute against merchandising requests on your SKUs, ensuring changes are intentional, aligned to strategy, and performance‑driving.
Independently run and lead supplier business reviews with key supplier partners, including executive leadership.
Lead regular supplier assortment reviews to ensure supplier alignment across Verified, Specialty & Foundational brand priorities.
Ensure pre‑launch requirements (e.g., pricing, imagery, reviews, advertising commitments) are captured and tracked.
Monitor early performance and inventory signals and escalate risks quickly.
Work closely with Merchants, SRMs, SIMs, and Retail Planning & Allocation to ensure items in your portfolio hit agreed goals.
Contribute to continuous improvement of tools, processes, and reporting used by the Curation Planning team.
