The Network Performance Leader (NPL) fosters a high-performing Independent Operator (IO) network by improving operator capability and skill set through DSDE standards, supporting IO success and sustainability. The role acts as the subject-matter expert for IO continuous training and development, coaching, and network-performance insights.

The NPL drives distributor performance by strengthening capabilities through coaching, ensuring consistent execution of strategic priorities, and maintaining high standards of operational and commercial discipline across the network.

Key Responsibilities:
IO Development & Coaching

• Support the continuous development of a strong IO network through operational readiness; collaborate with DSLs on interviews, onboarding-training support, and training certification / continuous-improvement opportunities.
• Assign training modules and coach IOs on sales fundamentals, operational excellence, DSDE standards, customer service, and business-management routines for all channels.

Network Performance & Insights

• Identify route assignment for new DSD customers.
• Support REM & DSL with established product recall procedures when required.
