What You’ll Own In this role you’ll help build, own, and improve the forecast engine that turns performance signals (traffic, impressions, conversion rates, in-stock levels, store counts, sell-through) and consumer signals (macroeconomic trends and our own customer behavior) into actionable demand and revenue plans.
