- Manage the creation, production, and delivery of ISC and window orders with accuracy and attention to detail
- Collect all activation information from local teams three weeks prior to each target opening date, ensuring timely input and clear communication
- Train local teams on the new store concept, ensuring they are ready to operate from a marketing perspective, that campaigns launch on time, and that any snagging issues are followed up
