  • Manage $100M+ in field inventory, ensuring parts are where they need to be to deliver superior customer experiences.
  • Establish robust inventory control processes to mitigate shrink and improve accuracy.
  • Act as the supply chain liaison to internal teams and key external clients (e.g., Verizon, ATT, Samsung).
  • Partner across departments (Legal, Risk, Security) to manage FSL vendor contracts and compliance with Asurion standards.
  • Support pilots, acquisitions, and strategic initiatives with supply chain expertise and rapid execution.
  • Develop and manage annual operating plan (AOP) and related budgets for FSL operations.
  • Track, report, and improve performance using key metrics (KPIs), identifying trends and driving accountability across sites.
  • Lead cost reduction initiatives, continuously seeking opportunities to streamline operations and improve ROI.
  • Lead and grow a high-performing team of supply chain professionals and 3PL partners, cultivating a culture of ownership, innovation, and operational excellence.
  • Inspire teams through change, overcome obstacles, and champion continuous improvement practices.
  • Provide coaching and development opportunities to enhance team capabilities and succession planning.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree required;
  • 10+ years of progressive supply chain operations experience, including FSL, warehousing, or logistics leadership.
  • Proven ability to manage large, distributed teams and influence across matrixed organizations.
  • Strong business acumen with analytical, financial, and strategic planning expertise.
