· Cross-Functional Partnering: Collaborate directly with Sourcing, Merchandising, Supply Chain, and Integration teams to gather data, understand operational drivers, and evaluate financial impacts.

· Reporting & KPI Dashboarding: Prepare recurring Monthly and Quarterly Business Review (MBR/QBR) materials, KPI scorecards, and executive reporting packages on synergy progression.
