    • Build a collaborative, high-performing culture of ownership, accountability and continuous learning, while balancing business priorities, team capacity and quality of delivery.

    Cross-Functional Leadership & Influence

    • Partner closely with Sales, Trade Marketing, Partner Marketing, Training, Brand, Product, Data & Insights and Technology to connect CRM strategy and activity to broader business priorities.
