Manager, Transportation Network Design & Projects

 

About the role:

The Network Design & Projects team is focused on creating step-changes in our capabilities (best-in-class speed, perfect orders, reduced delivery costs) and delivery network configuration across Wayfair’s transportation and delivery network. We partner closely with supply chain technology, advanced analytics, supplier operations, and field operations to recommend and then execute on initiatives that will drive down costs and enhance the Wayfair value proposition for our customers. 

 

We are looking for a talented and driven individual to join our team and dive headfirst into tackling complex transportation projects with massive value at stake.

 

Example projects include:

  • Perform root cause identification of transportation-driven incidents (e.g., lost-in-transit) and project manage cross-functional roadmap to drive down resolution cost exposure and enhance our customer experience
  • Develop and implement strategy for what large parcel shipments Wayfair delivers through our own network vs. 3rd parties based on various factors (cost, capacity, speed, reliability)
  • Partner with technology, advanced analytics, and supplier operations to optimize parcel carrier portfolio mix
  • Identify viable same day delivery opportunities and lead roadmap for opportunity sizing, configuration scoping, and pilots

 

What You'll Need

  • Bachelor’s degree and 5+ years of relevant experience (management consulting, e-commerce, or supply chain analytics preferred; masters’ degree a plus)
  • Penchant for leveraging data to dissect and determine root causes of problems, develop business cases to size and structure opportunities, and develop creative solutions
  • Innovative problem-solving skills, with a track record of taking on complex analytical challenges and delivering despite obstacles and limited resources
  • Exceptional oral and written communication skills with the ability to tailor communication style based on the audience
  • Experience and passion for working across functions (operations, technology, analytics), synthesizing multiple points of view and owning a coherent action plan
  • Thrives in a high growth, entrepreneurial, and ambiguous environment
