Quantify how operations actually work today across procurement, DC operations, transportation and last-mile — surface inefficiencies, co-develop hypotheses with the strategy team, and run controlled pilots to prove what works before we scale.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe role builds the baseline itself — time-motion studies, process maps and ground data collection across every node — and moves from symptoms to root cause backed by data. Every recommendation is written as a falsifiable hypothesis with a target metric and expected delta, then tested through a controlled pilot (control vs. test, sample, duration and success criteria locked with the strategy team upfront) that the associate personally runs on the floor. The loop is closed with an honest pre\/post readout against baseline, and wins are converted into SOPs that the ops team is trained on and audited against until they stick.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you will be doing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDC productivity: Drive units-per-man-hour and dock-to-stock TAT across inbound, putaway, picking and dispatch.
