You will take executive-level strategy and ensure it is translated into focused priorities, strong storytelling, and execution that delivers results with both consumers and retail partners.

- Cross-Functional Leadership: Operate as a senior partner across departments to lead conversations toward clear decisions; challenge thinking to ensure plans are differentiated and executable.
- Market Impact: Pressure test strategies against retail realities, competitive dynamics, and shopper behavior; integrate pricing, assortment, and channel dynamics into planning to ensure in-market success.
- Execution Excellence: Maintain visibility across key initiatives to ensure progress against priorities; hold teams accountable for outcomes and bring structure to complex workstreams.

- Strategic Translation: Ability to take ambiguity and create clarity, focus, and action.
- Influential Communication: Executive-level storyteller able to distill complexity into compelling narratives and drive alignment across functions.
- Leadership Presence: High judgment with the ability to prioritize and make critical trade-offs while remaining a low-ego, high-ownership partner.
