• Back‑schedule launch milestones and keep visibility on the critical path.
• Coordinate post‑launch activities such as new item forms, promotions and ongoing account requirements.
• Provide regular status updates to leadership and train new team members on launch processes.
• Identify and recommend process improvements to reduce timelines and prevent delays.
