  • Lead proposal creation and RFP responses that position the organization competitively.
  • Drive visibility on risks and opportunities, keeping cross-functional teams aligned through the S&OP process.
  • Own new customer onboarding from contract signing through full commercialization, ensuring flawless execution and long-term success.
  • Integrate new business smoothly, protecting profitability while driving top-line growth.
  • Prepare and deliver crisp business reports and insights weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annually.
  • Set up new customer accounts and ensure all internal teams are aligned for success.
Key Qualifications
