Position Overview
The Commercial Operations Manager owns the systems, data, planning inputs, and processes that connect Stanley's North American commercial teams to our customers across wholesale, e-commerce, and direct-to-consumer (DTC) channels. This individual contributor role is the business owner for our B2B platform (Elastic) and the governance lead for the Salesforce CRM in North America, and a key partner on demand and supply planning and forecasting across all three channels, supporting everything from seasonal catalog readiness and item set-up to customer data, inventory visibility, and plan alignment.
Working across the organization and across channels, this role finds and fixes the gaps between teams, processes, and systems. The Commercial Operations Manager leads cross-functional initiatives from intake to delivery, setting priorities, owners, timelines, and risks, and keeping every workstream moving across Demand and Supply Planning, Technology, and the commercial teams so plans line up and the tools and processes the business needs to scale actually get built. We are looking for a proactive, self-directed, and direct communicator who is just as comfortable working with Sales, E-commerce, DTC, Marketing, and Commercial teams as with IT and Technology partners.
This position is onsite 3 days per week at our Seattle Headquarters office.

- Own process governance and execution for B2B and commercial systems, including documentation, standards, escalation paths, and clear ownership across teams.
- Demand, Supply and Commercial Data
- Partner with Demand Planning, Supply Planning, and channel teams across wholesale, e-commerce, and DTC on forecasting inputs, inventory visibility, and allocation, keeping plans and systems aligned.
- Bring technical depth to demand and supply planning topics, translating how forecasts, inventory, and order data flow across systems into clear guidance for the business.
- Support commercial data initiatives such as customer and channel segmentation, account hierarchy, and pricing and program alignment by documenting business rules and driving them to implementation.
- Support customer onboarding and B2B account set-up processes, improving speed, data quality, and handoffs between teams.
- Cross-Channel and Global Alignment
- Work across wholesale, e-commerce, and DTC teams to identify where processes, data, and systems should be consistent and where channel needs differ, and drive alignment accordingly.
- Collaborate with regional counterparts in EMEA and APAC to share best practices, support adoption, and align on what should be consistent globally.
- Partner with the Commercial Operations & Analytics team, including GTM Operations and front-line sales support, to define clear handoffs between governance and day-to-day support.
- Project Management and Continuous Improvement
- Proactively drive a portfolio of cross-functional projects and initiatives, tracking priorities, owners, risks, and next steps, and moving work forward without waiting to be asked.
- Identify gaps and opportunities across teams, processes, and systems, and lead the improvements that reduce manual work and increase accuracy.
- Executive Communication
- Keep leadership and cross-functional teams informed through concise, candid updates and clear, impactful presentations that cover status, risks, and decisions needed, raise issues early, and translate complex business needs, strategic initiatives, and performance updates into actionable recommendations
