Responsibilities :

  • Manage product development project execution for line extensions, new line launches, label redesigns, product reformulations, and sourcing initiatives—from concept ideation through product launch.
  • Collaborate with and lead cross-functional teams (Label / Packaging Design, Sourcing, Compliance, Regulatory, Analytics, Legal, and Consumer Insights) during product development and commercialization.
  • Support category review processes for private label by developing fact-based market, trade, and trend data, shopper insights, and best practices.
  • Influence overall merchandising objectives by supporting execution of private label business strategies and plans.
