  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Procurement, Planning, Operations, and IT to align inbound receipt plans with demand signals before inventory arrives at the DC
  • Facilitate the acquisition / moving of customers to and from new / closing DCs from the Capacity side
  • Support the Sr. Manager / Director in developing team analytical standards, methodology documentation, and data pipeline requirements for the Inbound Placement function
  • Support lease renewal workstreams across medical distribution and global products businesses
