  • Build and maintain the centralized source of truth for resources across all International Markets, with standardized classification frameworks.
  • Develop and publish efficiency ratios and analytics on a regular cadence to inform leadership decision-making.

  • Integrate resource planning into AOP and LRP cycles, ensuring workforce strategy is aligned with business strategy.
  • Lead plan-to-actuals tracking with Finance and scenario modeling for organizational changes, including business case validation post-investment.
  • Create materials and analyses for executive reviews that translate workforce and resource data into clear strategic narratives.

  • Org and capability literacy - comfortable navigating role taxonomies, compensation bands, and capability mapping.
  • Exceptional executive communication and proven ability to influence across Finance, People, International Markets, and Sam's Club Connect.
  • A storyteller with data - turns complex analytics into clear strategic narratives; builds repeatable processes rather than one-off analyses.
