The ideal candidate will have a passion for supply chain optimization and process improvement, good project management skills, experience interfacing with external companies (e.g. Vendors, Sellers, B2B customers), relationship building skills, and the ability to influence internal and external stakeholders.
As an Operations Excellence Expert PM you will manage a small portfolio of Retail Vendors which rotate frequently (avg. 3-6 months engagement). You will evaluate the efficiency of the vendor's supply chain processes via data analysis and in-person audit of the vendor's warehouses, identify root causes and improvement opportunities, prescribe improvement strategies, guide the improvement effort, and measure outcomes. In addition, you will work closely with internal stakeholders (e.g. Vendor Management, Supply Chain, Finance) to continuously improve the service and drive scalable processes/system improvements to eliminate defects.
Key Job Responsibilities
- Analyze operational defects and identify root causes for financial deductions, define joint action plan with the vendor and enable implementation.
- Facilitate regular progress reviews with vendors to create sustainable long-term results.
- Cooperate and build trusting relationships across job functions and levels within the vendor's organization (e.g. Key Account Mgr, Supply Chain Mgr, Finance Mgr, CEO, Customer Service Mgr).
- Organize and run two-day Kaizen workshops with internal and external attendees including visits to the vendor's warehouse(s) and Amazon FCs. Lead group discussions, process mapping, value stream mapping, and brainstorming sessions.
- Work on cross-functional projects with internal stakeholders related to the improvement and growth of the service (e.g. expanding the value proposition, facilitating pitching and vendor outreach, increasing team productivity).
- Frequent traveling within EU is required for this role.
