Originally hired as Account Coordinator – where gained invaluable purchasing, vendor relations, sales, and project management experience – and rapidly promoted to present position, accountable for daily functions of one of largest company accounts, Bloomin Brands, as well as Hard Rock Café, reporting directly to company owner.Duties encompass three high-priority areas, including oversight of Outback restaurant (Bloomin Brands) retail store remodels, accounts receivable monitoring and follow-up, and store remodel order shipment tracking, routing, and logistics. Led charge to bring all design elements and new look of stores to fruition, through oversight of all remodels, keeping in touch with company, general contractor, and freight companies to ensure job site is ready for delivery of shipments and installations, tracking all shipment and related changes. Assemble all drawings for store and ship paperwork to Bloomin Brands to begin store remodel, handling all damaged equipment, product, or job site-related issues.* Grew overall account profit margins from 15% to 30%, by instituting “just-in-time” manufacturing plan – which cut lead time of supplied goods and facilitated production of key components over four-year period before they were needed – but without taking on excess and costly inventory.* Coordinated more than 400 remodels of Outback stores over last 5 years, examining floor plan – to develop product/equipment quote, order needed items, track delivery, and ensure installation on prescribed date – subsequently forwarded to engineering division once final client approval obtained.* Decreased costs of Outback store remodels – by limiting custom work to under 10% of all fabrications – through creation of program which enabled employer to produce many “like” but not “identical” items, which provided factory with work during slow months while keeping store remodel pricing down.
