Ideal Candidate Profile

• Engineering-rooted career path — supply chain, logistics, or operations engineering preferred
• Experience in inventory solutions, supply chain strategy, or network strategy
• Background in e-commerce strategy, merchant strategy, or quote-to-cash processes is a strong differentiator

Performance Metrics

These roles will be evaluated against the following KPIs:

• VMI (primary metric)
• Service level achievement

You are equally comfortable whiteboarding a process flow as you are presenting a portfolio status to senior leadership. You solve problems — you don't just flag them.

Interview Process

Preliminary interviews will assess the following areas:

• Project management fundamentals (core PM questions)
