  • Utilize strong project management skills to coordinate stakeholders, define project milestones, and manage deliverables.
  • Conduct process mapping to document current workflows, identify inefficiencies, and recommend improvements.

  • Technology & Change Management Support :

  • Support the design, development, and implementation of technology enhancements that improve store efficiency and operator experience.
  • Develop and execute communication plans to ensure operators and field teams understand upcoming changes.
