What you'll do

• Operating Rhythm: Design and facilitate the tiered daily management system — DOR, WOR, and MOR. Own templates, cadence, escalation paths, visual boards, and action tracking.

• Tier System & Leader Standard Work: Build the tier board system, leader standard work schedules, and escalation protocols. Coach supervisors and team leads on structured daily accountability.

• Toyota Kata & Continuous Improvement: Serve as the team’s Kata coach. Own the CI pipeline — Kaizen events, A3s, and savings validation.

• Production Program Accountability: Build the governance framework that defines how production programs engage with warehouse operations — SLAs for material availability, handling requirements, turnaround commitments, and regulatory compliance. Develop the scorecarding methodology and hold program leads accountable to it. Serve as the warehouse-to-planning interface alongside the MFE team.

• Training System Architecture: Design the qualification system: skills matrices, standard work documentation, onboarding programs, and train-the-trainer certification. Partner with the Warehouse Manager to build training capability within the existing team — identify and develop supervisors and team leads as certified trainers, and define the dedicated training roles the organization will need as it scales.

• KPI Design & Analytics: Define and visualize metrics across all warehouse functions using the SQDIP framework. Own the calculation methodology. Provide labor and budget analysis including headcount modeling and cost-per-unit metrics.

• Management System Audits: Design and execute layered process audits. Track standard work and leader standard work compliance. Identify systemic gaps and drive corrective actions.
• Change Management: Lead rollout of new processes, SOPs, and WMS/ERP system changes. Own communication plans, training requirements, and post-implementation verification.
• Multi-Building Operating Structure: Architect the operating model across multiple buildings and programs as the site builds out. Ensure consistency in management systems, WMS/ERP configuration, and process standards across all facilities. Partner with MFE on layout, storage strategy, and systems integration.
• Organization Design: Partner with the Director to define functional charters, role boundaries, reporting structures, and operating models for new teams and leadership positions as the organization scales.
