About the roleWe are seeking a senior warehouse operations professional who can quickly assess warehouse environments, identify operational gaps, and guide site leadership teams toward best-in-class operations.
In this role, you will work directly with clients across their warehouse networks to evaluate operational maturity, diagnose performance issues, and define practical improvement roadmaps. The work is highly site-oriented and requires strong credibility with warehouse leadership and frontline teams.
Rather than running operations directly, you will act as a trusted advisor-leveraging your operational experience to identify best practices, define operational standards, and guide client teams through improvement initiatives.
The objective is to stabilize operations, improve performance, and help organizations build the internal capabilities required to sustain improvements independently.
Ideal candidates have experience launching new distribution centers, stabilizing underperforming sites, or leading warehouse turnaround initiatives.

- Evaluate layout, material flow, zoning, slotting, and infrastructure
- Assess operational planning including SOPs, KPIs, labor organization, and governance
- Identify performance gaps relative to industry best practices
- Develop site-specific operational improvement roadmaps
- Guide warehouse leadership teams through improvement initiatives
- Support deployment of operational excellence standards across multiple sites
- Monitor progress and address operational barriers during implementation
- Coach site leadership on performance management and operational discipline
- Help clients build internal capabilities to sustain improvements independently
Qualifications- 7+ years of warehouse or distribution operations experience
- Experience in warehouse start-ups, operational turnaround, or site stabilization
- Strong understanding of warehouse layout, material flow, slotting, and workforce planning
- Familiarity with warehouse systems such as WMS, LMS, ERP, or automation environments
- Ability to quickly diagnose operational issues and recommend best-practice solutions
- Strong communication and leadership skills working with operational teams
- Willingness to travel frequently and work on-site in warehouse environments
