- Perform global season sales performance analysis to identify market opportunities or risks.
- Take ownership of Global ZGS (Non-NZ Supply) Green Procurement plans, capturing market demand and aligning with the ZGS supply team.
- Own OGR (Orchard Gate Return) calculation and optimisation of global 10-year fruit sales plans, developing scenarios around the 10-year plan to support strategic decision making.
- Review OGR performance in-season, supporting the setting of market targets, and tracking OGR vs. benchmarks to drive performance and visibility within the business.
- Lead OGR business training and support onboarding, ensuring teams are equipped with the tools and knowledge to support OGR improvement.
- Develop and maintain market OGR Calculators to support market value optimization.
- Provide business/cross-functional project support relating to the value chain, including crop forecast accuracy, value chain modeling, and other initiatives that drive OGR improvements.
- Act as a key integration point between IBP plans and financial outputs, as well as supporting system projects relating to optimisation and SAP IBP plan financial dollarisation.
- Write Board or Management Reports relating to Season allocation, Season performance reporting papers, and input into the 10 Year Plan Board Paper and presentations.
