  • Ensure warehouse layouts, material handling approaches, and workflows are fit for purpose and adaptable over time
  • Guide the effective use and evolution of distribution technologies, including warehouse management and shipping systems
  • Establish standards, processes, and governance that ensure consistency, clarity, and operational discipline

Continuous Improvement & Performance Management

  • Maintain a data-driven performance management approach across distribution operations, establishing and monitoring KPIs for throughput, cost, service levels, labor productivity, and quality
  • Leverage data, analytics, and WMS/TMS technology to identify opportunities, risks, and constraints affecting service, cost, and throughput
  • Champion continuous improvement methodologies and problem-solving disciplines through identification and prioritization of improvement initiatives based on business impact and organizational readiness
  • Ensure distribution performance is transparent, measurable, and aligned with enterprise objectives

People & Culture Leadership

  • Lead and develop a high-performing distribution operations at all levels
