The Associate Vice President, Replenishment is accountable for enterprise‑wide replenishment strategy and execution, ensuring optimal inventory flow that protects in‑stock, minimizes excess, and supports core retail fundamentals across all banners and categories. The role leads the Replenishment organization, including Replenishment Managers, Analysts, and Replenishment Process teams, and translates demand signals into disciplined supply actions that balance service, cost, and working capital.
The AVP drives consistent replenishment best practices, strengthens vendor and supply chain performance, and modernizes tools, reporting, and operating rhythms to reduce friction for merchants and stores. Success is measured through improved service levels, reduced standing orders and excess inventory, better late‑schedule performance, and resilient execution through seasonal and hyper‑season peaks, while building strong talent, clarity, and accountability across the replenishment function.
The AVP, Replenishment role is essential to the company’s ability to deliver core retail fundamentals at scale—specifically in‑stock availability, inventory productivity, and disciplined working‑capital management—across all categories and distribution networks. Replenishment is the operational bridge between forecasted demand and physical execution, and without senior‑level ownership, the organization risks fragmented decision‑making, excess inventory, service degradation, and inconsistent vendor performance.
