About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Consolidate and lead the full global Inventory Deployment function - NAM and International - as the single accountable owner of finished goods placement across all markets and channels
Set the global inventory deployment strategy: define global allocation policy, constrained-period decision frameworks, and Supply Signal standards that apply consistently across all markets NAM, ANZ, APAC, EU, and UK
Make cross-market allocation decisions that optimize global inventory health simultaneously — not within a single region - owning the commercial consequences of constrained-SKU, NPD launch, and OOS scenarios across 100% of company revenue
Lead, develop, and hold accountable a consolidated global team: three NAM analysts (direct) and the Manager, International Deployment and their APAC analyst (indirect), building toward a high-performing function with consistent standards and reduced reliance on manager-level intervention for routine decisions
Own the integration of Inventory Deployment into the global S&OP process — representing a single, authoritative global inventory voice in consensus and executive tiers, and ensuring deployment constraints are visible and actioned at the planning level
Drive the transformation of the Inventory Deployment function from reactive and manual to structured, system-supported, and scalable — leading NetSuite deployment automation, Supply Signal rebuild, global OOS visibility, and SLOB dashboard delivery as primary SME and accountable owner
Define and govern global North Star KPIs for inventory deployment — fill rate, in-stock rate, MOS, projected OOS impact, and SLOB exposure by market — and build the reporting infrastructure to make performance visible and actionable across all regions
Own daily global inventory execution with commercial rigour: transfer orders, reallocations, misroutes, and stuck orders across all DCs and markets, ensuring inventory is never double-committed and service levels are maintained across every channel
Lead the global Supply Signal manual approvals cycle — managing all five approval types across all regions — and partner with Demand Planning to ensure requests reflect accurate channel needs and upstream supply risk is escalated proactively
Manage global expiry date and SLOB strategy with a working capital lens, minimizing write-off risk and ensuring constrained inventory is allocated to its highest-value use across all markets
Serve as the senior cross-functional partner for all channel leads globally, representing Inventory Deployment with authority in all relevant forums and ensuring allocation decisions reflect commercial priorities, promotional calendars, and channel mix strategies
Drive the roadmap to reduce manual platform dependency across the function — consolidating execution across NetSuite, WMS, OPC, Smartsheet, and Power BI into scalable, documented, system-supported processes
