You’ll partner with DC leaders to reduce variation, strengthen One Best Way execution, and deliver measurable KPI gains.

About The Team

Supply Chain is the engine that moves product through our Distribution Centers to serve stores and customers with speed and accuracy.

  • Build quality loss profiles, KPI reporting, and gap analyses to guide improvement work

  • Manage execution of top quality-loss projects and identify replication opportunities

  • Create and improve standard work to reduce process variation and prevent deviations

  • Partner with DC leaders to support WPS programs, engagement, and KPI improvements

What you’ll bring

  • Experience applying process improvement methods (RCA, 5S, Six Sigma, time/motion) in operations

  • Ability to analyze KPIs, build loss profiles, and translate insights into actions/standard work

  • Experience leading cross-functional improvement projects from problem definition to sustainment

  • Working knowledge of WPS-style operating rhythms and playbook/standard work governance

  • Comfort coaching leaders/associates on continuous improvement expectations and routines
