• Strategic Network Expansion & CapEx Ownership: Capitalize and lead end-to-end launch strategies for new fulfillment centers (FCs) and major retrofits. You will own multi-million-dollar capital expenditure (CapEx) budgets, negotiate with external automation and general contractors, and ensure aggressive timelines match our hyper-growth trajectory. • Next-Gen Storage & Automation Architecture: Define the network-wide standards for storage capacity, vertical space utilization, and layout engineering. You will pioneer the integration of advanced automation (e.g., AS/RS, robotics, complex conveyor systems) to radically maximize density and throughput. • Data-Driven Operational Design: Lead complex layout overhauls utilizing advanced CAD/SketchUp modeling integrated with predictive data analytics. You will align physical footprint design with complex inventory health metrics, long-term velocity forecasts, and macroeconomic supply chain shifts. • Business Intelligence & Executive Governance: Establish robust engineering metrics, predictive throughput models, and centralized Power BI/SQL frameworks. You will synthesize complex operational data into actionable narratives for executive leadership to justify infrastructure investments. • Cross-Functional & Vendor Leadership: Act as the primary technical liaison between executive leadership, operations, tech teams, and tier-1 automation vendors. You will manage high-value vendor relationships, negotiate service-level agreements (SLAs), and foster cross-functional alignment to mitigate deployment risks. • ## What experiences will help you in this role: • Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain Management, or a related quantitative field. • Experience: 5+ years of progressive experience in industrial engineering, fulfillment network planning, or large-scale logistics program management. • Capital Project Portfolio: A proven track record of successfully scoping, budgeting, and deploying $5M+ greenfield or automation-heavy brownfield capital projects. • Technical Mastery: Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD/SketchUp for facility layout design, paired with expert-level data extraction and modeling capabilities (SQL, Power BI, Python, or discrete event simulation tools like FlexSim). • Leadership Impact: Demonstrated ability to influence executive stakeholders, manage high-performing project teams, and navigate complex, ambiguous cross-functional environments • In an effort to Make Spreetail Better, we hire people that are aligned with our values and are passionate about pursuing ecommerce excellence. We believe the right person can learn what is needed to succeed in their role, so we encourage job applicants to apply even if you don't meet all the qualifications listed. We are looking for diverse backgrounds and perspectives, so we don’t require college degrees and welcome non-linear career paths. If this role highlights your experience and gets you excited – please apply! • What you can expect from us: • We provide the flexibility to take care of yourself. Spreetail operates in a work culture that promotes results and encourages taking time off when needed.
