Full Job Description
Key job responsibilities
Serve as the subject matter expert for your program area, providing technical guidance to cross-functional partners and challenging vendor and internal assumptions. Partner with safety, routing, fulfillment center operations, delivery service partners, finance, and station leadership to move programs from approval through launch. Go on-site during pilot launches to validate designs, troubleshoot, and refine processes in real time. Own the roadmap for your area, including prioritization, milestone tracking, and senior leadership reporting. Up to 50% regional travel depending on business needs and pilot launch cadence.
Design and validate new delivery station processes, layouts, and equipment configurations for pilot programs - translating concepts into buildable, testable solutions. Create technical documentation including process flows, SOPs, training materials, and engineering standards for programs that don't have established playbooks. Build structured pilot plans from concept through assessment, launch, and scale recommendation - including timelines, readiness criteria, and go/no-go gates. Own program delivery end-to-end: driving change management approvals, financial justification, and leadership reviews at each stage of progression
A day in the life
No two days look the same. You might start the morning sketching a station layout for a new pilot, then jump on a call with routing and science teams to understand how delivery path changes affect your design. After lunch, you're reviewing time study data to validate throughput assumptions and writing up findings for a leadership review. Some weeks you're at your desk refining specs and building workback plans. Other weeks you're on-site at a station, troubleshooting in real time and training associates on a process you designed. The work spans concept through execution - and moves fast.

- 3+ years of leading cross-functional teams across engineering, operations, and field execution through launch readiness and go-live phases experience
