Dealer Ordering and Allocation Analyst

The Dealer Ordering & Allocation Analyst translates configuration and market intelligence outputs into specific, actionable ordering guidance for dealers — and closes the loop by tracking whether that guidance changes ordering behavior, improves turn rates, and reduces incentive reliance in the field.

This role will be a primary user of the analytical framework assessing content application, competitive benchmarking, market intelligence and dealer ordering. They will inform recommendations for Brand Operations, Product Planning, Dealer Network and Brand Finance.
