Responsibilities
- Lead the build-out of new internal-facing applications, products, features, and tools.

A day in the life
In the morning, you triage Slack threads from Supply Chain, Tech, and Merchandising partners, then facilitate a cross-functional working group to drive alignment on the forecasting roadmap. Midday, you synthesize program status and surface risks for a leadership review. After lunch, you shift to deep work — writing an operating model proposal or refining the demand planning KPI framework. You close the day coordinating user onboarding for a new forecasting tool and capturing feedback to loop back to the product team.
About the Team

The result has been the highest quality natural and organic products, an unmatched experience in more than 500+ stores, with a passionate team of over 100,000 team members, 5 percent of our total net profits given back to our communities each year, and millions of customers who put their trust in us every day.
