• Strong analytical capability with a demonstrated ability to convert data into clear business decisions.

• Ability to synthesize service, cost, cash, and growth impacts and communicate them clearly to cross‑functional and senior stakeholders.
• Experience operating in ambiguity while maintaining accountability, discipline, and forward momentum.
• Strong cross‑functional partnering skills across Sales, Finance, Planning, and Operations.
• Proficiency in Power BI, Excel, SAP/S4, WMS/TMS, or comparable planning and execution tools.
• Ability to question system outputs, interpret AI‑enabled recommendations, and apply insights to real decisions.
• Comfort working with forecasts, inventory signals, service metrics, and financial data in fast‑moving environments.
• Owner mindset with bias toward action, disciplined decision‑making, and accountability over escalation.
• Strong financial acumen; understands profit drivers, cost levers, and service‑to‑cash trade‑offs at the customer and network level.
• Clear, concise communicator who can lead constructive conflict and align diverse stakeholders around data‑based decisions.
• Growth mindset with curiosity, learning agility, and comfort adopting new tools, analytics, and ways of working.

Responsibilities

• Own end‑to‑end customer supply chain performance across order‑to‑cash, including service, inventory, cost‑to‑serve, fines, cash, and compliance outcomes.
• Act as the primary supply chain integrator for assigned customers, connecting Sales, IBP, Planning, Logistics, Finance, Order Management, Transportation, and external partners.
• Serve as the subject‑matter expert on Clorox supply chain programs and Customer supply chain behaviors, constraints, and opportunities; use these insights to influence commercial and operational decisions.
• Represent Logistics in cross‑functional decision forums with clear ownership and accountability, reducing escalation and enabling faster decisions.
• Develop and apply decision‑safe analytics to enable faster, more consistent decisions as automation and AI increase.
• Interpret dashboards, system outputs, and AI‑enabled insights to assess service, cost, and growth implications.
• Focus analytics on a small set of decision‑critical inputs (“golden inputs”) embedded directly into planning and operating workflows.
• Use objective analytics to anticipate risk, demand shifts, service instability, and cost exposure.
• Own customer‑level cost‑to‑serve analysis, including transportation, warehousing, inventory positioning, fines, service recovery, and operational touches.
• Quantify financial impacts of service model decisions, customer collaboration efforts, and operational improvement initiatives.
• Translate freight spend, fines, and service variability into targeted, high‑ROI corrective actions.
• Partner closely with Finance to improve forecasting accuracy, accrual discipline, and proactive management of logistics spend and fines risk.
• Understand and communicate working‑capital and cash impacts associated with inventory, dwell, and service decisions.
• Partner with Sales, IBP, and Finance to evaluate scenarios tied to demand volatility, promotions, capacity constraints, and growth initiatives.
• Lead fact‑based trade‑off discussions that balance service commitments, cost discipline, cash impact, and growth priorities.
• Clearly communicate recommendations, assumptions, risks, and downstream impacts to senior stakeholders.
• Operate within defined decision rights, resolving trade‑offs at the lowest appropriate level and escalating only when thresholds are exceeded.
• Reinforce governance clarity on which growth bets are approved, paused, or exited based on service and cost realities.
• Drive performance across KPIs including order fill, OTIF, inventory health, on‑shelf availability, customer compliance, and cost‑to‑serve.
• Lead structured root‑cause problem solving (e.g., A3 / 5 Whys) on service misses, fines, and cost variances.
• Hardwire standard work, clear process ownership, and repeatable controls across OTC and embedded Logistics activities.
• Establish and sustain standard operating rhythms (weekly and monthly reviews) with clear owners, actions, and outcomes.
• Enable segmented service models by customer, channel, and portfolio aligned to customer value and cost‑to‑serve profiles.
• Support disciplined customer collaboration using shared scorecards, analytics, and improvement roadmaps.
• Quantify the financial value of customer collaboration efforts to focus resources on the highest‑return opportunities.
• Partner with 3PLs and carriers to drive innovation, execution reliability, and efficiency through data‑driven performance management.
