In this role, you’ll dive deep into the heart of our supply chain, logistics, and warehouse management to uncover insights that will streamline processes and improve efficiency.
Our operations span multiple warehouses and delivery points, facing the daily challenges of managing fluctuating demand, optimizing delivery routes, reducing waste, and ensuring timely fulfillment. This is an opportunity for a highly analytical individual who is excited by solving tough operational problems and who thrives in fast-paced, dynamic environments.
