Purplle.com is building a dedicated cost and PnL charter for its supply chain organization, and is looking for an Associate Program Manager to own it. This role sits at the intersection of analytics and execution — owning the numbers behind the network (fulfillment centers, distribution centers, dark stores, and B2B/B2C logistics) and converting cost insight into structured programs that deliver measurable results. The ideal candidate is analytically solid, understands cost and PnL mechanics in depth, and is equally comfortable driving an initiative independently from ideation through to execution.
Key Responsibilities
• Cost & PnL Ownership:
• Build and maintain a consolidated view of supply chain cost and PnL across FC, DC, DS, and B2B/B2C logistics networks.
• Identify cost drivers, deviations, and improvement opportunities across the end-to-end network.
• Partner with finance and operations teams to reconcile cost data and ensure PnL accuracy at a network and node level.
• Program Management & Execution:
• Convert cost insights into structured programs — defining scope, timelines, ownership, and success criteria.
• Independently drive programs from ideation through execution, managing multiple work-streams in parallel.
• Set up governance cadences — trackers, reviews, escalation paths — to keep programs on track and stakeholders aligned.
• Data-Driven Decision Making:
• Build and maintain dashboards and MIS to track cost performance across the network.
• Translate large, often messy datasets into clear, decision-ready insights for leadership.
• Continuously validate cost assumptions against ground reality and proactively flag anomalies.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
• Work closely with Operations, Finance, Control Tower, Logistics, and Inventory Planning teams to align on cost initiatives.
• Present findings and recommendations to senior stakeholders with clarity and rigor.
• Build credibility across the network to drive adoption of cost pro
