Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end delivery of multiple warehouse operations and logistics technology initiatives.
• Develop and maintain project plans, schedules, budgets, risks, dependencies, and executive status reporting.
• Partner closely with warehouse operations, distribution center leadership, logistics teams, technology teams, and business stakeholders.
• Drive project execution across cross-functional teams while ensuring accountability for commitments and deliverables.
• Manage third-party vendors and hold them accountable for timelines, deliverables, and issue resolution.
• Facilitate requirements gathering, process mapping, testing, training, and operational readiness activities.
• Identify operational impacts and process changes associated with implementing new technology solutions.
• Drive issue management, risk mitigation, decision-making, and escalation processes.
• Support pilot implementations and subsequent enterprise rollout planning.
• Lead change management efforts to ensure successful user adoption and business engagement.
• Challenge assumptions, identify potential gaps, and proactively recommend solutions.
• Foster collaboration between technical, business, and operational teams.
