Support initiatives to increase FARPU by building the right product mix - right SKUs, right price, right quality, right speed.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner with the in-house design team (Corel, CAD) to improve speed and accuracy of jewelry renderings.

Work closely with sales and customer success teams to align production timelines with customer expectations.

Conduct workshops with key customers to understand their jewelry sales processes and identify improvement opportunities.

Proven success improving speed, quality, and cost in a fast-paced environment.
