This role partners with Category Management, LOB Finance, PSI/BOPIS, and Marketing to ensure the CE eCommerce business operates with financial discipline and full P&L visibility.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Report weekly Achievement Rates (A/R = SUM actuals / SUM forecast) to CE WBR and prepare SCM content for LOB leadership.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS & REPORTING

INVENTORY & SUPPLY CHAIN OPTIMIZATION

• Lead CE demand forecasting using advanced modeling techniques — ARIMA, exponential smoothing, and machine learning models — to align eCommerce sell-out with upstream supply chain planning.

• Utilize predictive analytics to anticipate demand fluctuations, minimize stockout and excess inventory exposure, and recommend inventory repositioning strategies.

PROMOTIONAL & FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

• Create financial program templates for promotional lift assessment and profitability analysis across all CE BU-level promotional events — ensuring Finance alignment before execution.

• Employ A/B testing, hypothesis testing, and ROI analysis to evaluate promotional effectiveness — generating learnings that refine targeting, depth, and timing of future programs.

• Model the financial impact of Expansion channel launches (Marketplace, Carrier, Social, FinTech) on overall CE eCommerce revenue mix and margin profile.

STRATEGIC REVENUE MANAGEMENT
