    + **Lead the Warehouse Route-to-Market Strategy** Design and execute a scalable, modern warehouse route-to-market model across key regions and customers, with a goal to materially scale our business in the next three years.

    + **Cross-Functional Integration** Collaborate closely with Commercial, NPD, and Sales teams to align planning, merchandising, and execution across national and regional warehouse accounts.

    + **Build for Scale** Create the foundational structure, tools, and routines required for long-term success in warehouse delivery-including insights, tracking, and planning infrastructure.

    + **Act as a Connector to BASN & NAOU Teams** Where appropriate, work with BODYARMOR & TCCC North America Operating Unit (NAOU) teams to unlock synergies and leverage best practices for route-to-market and platform development in the warehouse business.
