  • Partner with the Hospitality team on large-scale commercial and residential projects
  • Support SKU rationalization and liquidation strategies
  • Drive continuous improvement in planning processes and tools
  • Other duties as assigned

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with advanced Excel proficiency
  • Experience with ERP and planning systems (e.g., JDE, Demantra)
  • Proven ability to manage vendor relationships and cross-functional projects
  • Experience with both domestic and international sourcing preferred
