This role partners with Category Management, LOB Finance, PSI/BOPIS, and Marketing to ensure the CE eCommerce business operates with financial discipline and full P&L visibility.

Roles & Responsibilities

FINANCIAL PLANNING & FORECASTING

• Lead CPFR (Collaborative Planning, Forecasting, and Replenishment) calls with PSI and BOPIS teams alongside Category Management — ensuring eCommerce demand signals are accurately reflected in supply chain planning.
• Develop QCD Plans (Demand Revenue, Financial Revenue, SD, Profit %) for CE eCommerce, updated in response to promotional plans, marketing changes, and channel mix shifts.
• Report weekly Achievement Rates (A/R = SUM actuals / SUM forecast) to CE WBR and prepare SCM content for LOB leadership.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS & REPORTING

• Analyze traffic, CVR (Conversion Rate), and funnel performance versus marketing forecast — identifying gaps by BU, category, and channel, and reporting recommendations to Category Management.
• Manage CE eCommerce aging and transfer price (TP) accuracy metrics, collaborating with Fulfillment on in-stock performance and forecasting accuracy targets.
• Build and maintain KPI dashboards using Tableau, SQL, and AI-augmented analytics workflows for real-time CE business performance visibility.
• Produce executive-ready financial summaries for CE WBR, monthly LOB reviews, and strategic planning cycles.

INVENTORY & SUPPLY CHAIN OPTIMIZATION

• Address backorders and inventory supply issues across CE categories (CTN model planning + new SKU forecast management) in close coordination with Category Managers.
• Lead CE demand forecasting using advanced modeling techniques — ARIMA, exponential smoothing, and machine learning models — to align eCommerce sell-out with upstream supply chain planning.
• Utilize predictive analytics to anticipate demand fluctuations, minimize stockout and excess inventory exposure, and recommend inventory repositioning strategies.

PROMOTIONAL & FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

• Create financial program templates for promotional lift assessment and profitability analysis across all CE BU-level promotional events — ensuring Finance alignment before execution.
• Employ A/B testing, hypothesis testing, and ROI analysis to evaluate promotional effectiveness — generating learnings that refine targeting, depth, and timing of future programs.
• Model the financial impact of Expansion channel launches (Marketplace, Carrier, Social, FinTech) on overall CE eCommerce revenue mix and margin profile.

STRATEGIC REVENUE MANAGEMENT

• Own financial business planning to achieve quarterly and annual revenue targets across the CE eCommerce portfolio — aligned with the roadmap.
• Develop analytical frameworks using machine learning and statistical modeling to identify growth opportunities by BU, product family, channel, and season.
• Leverage LLM/AI tools to accelerate financial modeling, scenario analysis, and executive reporting — replacing traditional spreadsheet workflows with AI-native business intelligence.

CONTRACTOR OVERSIGHT & TEAM OPERATIONS

• Manage and direct one financial/analytics contractor, setting priorities, reviewing output, and ensuring quality standards.
• Develop standard operating procedures and reporting cadences that scale as the CE expansion business grows.
• Partner with IT and Data Engineering to maintain and improve CE eCommerce data infrastructure and reporting pipelines.
