This work is broad, business critical, complex and highly cross-functional. 

We are looking for a data-driven and impact-oriented individual to drive a complex roadmap to help us unlock recovery potential within our supply chain focused on partnering with our Fulfillment & Home Delivery Operations Team. The ideal candidate must be highly flexible, hands on, and understands how to effectively drive results in a fast-paced and rapidly growing company.

What You'll Need

• 4+ years work experience.
• MS/MBA or other graduate degree in management, retail management or other supply chain related field preferred, but accomplished professionals will always be considered.
