Support key milestone processes (line planning, go‑to‑market, order book management, forecast updates). Maintain planning tools and data accuracy; contribute to reporting and business reviews. Partner cross‑functionally (Supply Chain, Finance, Customer Service) to resolve inventory, fulfillment and forecast challenges.

Ability to manage multiple accounts and priorities in a fast‑paced, deadline‑driven environment. Strong partnership mindset with the ability to influence Sales and cross‑functional stakeholders.
