LTO & New Product Management • Manage the procurement side of Limited Time Offers end-to-end, working closely with the Procurement Manager and cross-functional teams., • Secure supply, pricing, and volume forecasts for LTOs and new launches; ensure availability for launch and clean exit at wind-down to avoid stranded stock., • Cost LTOs ahead of launch and feed margin guidance into go/no-go and pricing decisions.
