What You'll Do:

Build & Lead Site-Level CI

• Develop and own the site’s CI roadmap, ensuring that projects are executed on and validated, with clear timelines and accountability.
• Create visibility for Ops CI work across the organization- from the ops floor to the executive team- through a consistent cadence of reviews and change management.

Drive Performance Improvement

• Apply structured problem-solving methodologies (Lean, Six Sigma, or equivalent) to diagnose root causes, design solutions, and implement changes that stick.
• Set and track KPIs for CI project outcomes- cost savings, throughput and speed improvements, quality- and report on progress to senior leadership.
• Partner with General Managers and functional leaders to identify and size improvement opportunities, and ensure operational buy-in for change implementation.

Change Management & Culture

• Champion a culture of continuous improvement across ShipMonk- making problem-solving accessible and habitual at every level of the organization.
• Design and deliver CI training and capability-building programs for operations leaders and frontline teams.
• Lead change management efforts for major CI initiatives, ensuring sustainable adoption rather than one-time fixes.

Partner with Central Process Excellence

• Serve as the primary interface between the CI function and the Process Excellence (PE) team, ensuring CI project outcomes are reflected in updated process documentation and governance.
• Feed the PE team with real-world signals from the ops floor- highlighting where documented standards have drifted from practice, where gaps exist, and where new standards are needed.

Data, Analytics, & Tooling

• Use data to drive every stage of the CI lifecycle- from opportunity identification and sizing to solution design and impact measurement.
• Partner with the Analytics team to develop insights that surface performance gaps and track improvement trends across facilities.

What You'll Need:

• Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain, Operations Management, Business, or a related field.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in operations, with at least 3 years in a leadership role directly managing CI or operational improvement programs.
• Demonstrated track record of building CI functions or programs-not just participating in them- with measurable financial and operational impact.
• Deep proficiency in Lean and/or Six Sigma methodologies. Black Belt certification strongly preferred.
• Experience in e-commerce fulfillment, 3PL, distribution center, or high-volume logistics environments strongly preferred.
• Strong analytical capabilities- comfortable working with large operational datasets and translating data into insight and action using tools such as Google Sheets, Excel, Metabase, Tableau, or similar.
• Proven ability to influence without authority across a complex, multi-site, cross-functional organization.
• Exceptional communication and executive presence- able to present CI roadmaps and outcomes clearly to both operational and senior leadership audiences.

What Will Set You Apart

• Experience building and running a CI cadence & process from scratch in a high-growth, operationally complex environment.
• Familiarity with WMS and the ability to leverage system data directly in improvement work.
• Experience managing complex projects working cross-functionally with commercial, analytics, product development, and operations. Project types will include launching new merchants in building, process change roll outs, WMS systems improvements, etc.
• The ability to identify and execute high impact opportunities on the floor.
