1. AOP (Annual Operating Plan) creation and closure 
2. P&L, EBITDA, contribution margin, and unit economics analysis 

• Support cost reduction and optimization projects across supply chain, marketing, operations, and overheads 
• Analyze variances vs plan and highlight risks / opportunities early 

4. Systems, Tools & Vendor Coordination 

• Lead coordination with internal teams and external vendors for: 
• ERP implementations or migrations 
• OMS / WMS for supply chain 
• Other operational or analytics tools

5. Strategic & Ad-hoc Founder-Led Initiatives

• Break down ambiguous problems into executable workstreams 
• Track execution across teams and push for closure 
• Create Board decks, Investor updates, Strategic review decks etc

• Experiment with AI tools to Build internal workflows and lightweight agents, Automate reporting, summaries, screening, or reviews 
• Work with teams to integrate AI into day-to-day business operations, not as a side project
