Evaluate category performance and identify opportunities to improve programs, introduce new products or services, and enhance member value.
Monitor industry, competitive, and consumer trends to support informed category decisions and long-term planning.

Supplier & Strategic Sourcing

Build and maintain strong relationships with existing and prospective suppliers.

Partners with internal teams including Operations, Member Services, Finance, and other functional areas to execute category initiatives.
