Job Description

About the Role

This is not a traditional operations role centered on static processes or incremental efficiency gains. As Senior Operations Manager, you will take ownership of a dynamic, AI-orchestrated logistics ecosystem where fulfillment centers, robotics fleets, predictive demand systems, and cross-border supply networks operate as a unified intelligence layer.

You will lead operations in an environment where decisions are increasingly augmented or autonomously executed by machine learning systems. Your responsibility is to ensure these systems perform reliably at scale while continuously refining operational strategy to meet volatile global demand patterns.

The role requires a rare blend of operational rigor, systems thinking, and technological fluency. You will oversee complex workflows that span automated warehouses, real-time inventory positioning, and last-mile delivery optimization. More importantly, you will redefine how operations scale, shifting from reactive execution to predictive and self-correcting systems.

Your success will not be measured solely by cost reduction or throughput, but by your ability to build resilient, intelligent operations that anticipate disruption, self-optimize, and maintain exceptional service levels under pressure.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

  • Lead end-to-end operational performance across automated fulfillment centers and distributed logistics networks
  • Oversee integration and performance of robotics systems, warehouse automation, and AI-driven orchestration platforms
  • Design and implement operational frameworks that enable predictive inventory allocation and demand forecasting
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives using advanced analytics, simulation models, and real-time operational data
  • Establish KPIs that go beyond traditional metrics, focusing on system adaptability, latency reduction, and failure recovery
  • Partner with engineering teams to refine algorithms governing routing, capacity planning, and load balancing
  • Ensure operational resilience by designing contingency protocols for supply chain disruptions and system anomalies
  • Manage cross-functional teams spanning logistics, engineering, data science, and regional operations
  • Oversee vendor and partner ecosystems to ensure alignment with performance, scalability, and compliance standards

Job Qualifications and Requirements

  • 8–12+ years of experience in operations, supply chain, or logistics leadership roles within high-scale environments
  • Proven experience managing automated or technology-enabled operations (robotics, AI, IoT-driven systems preferred)
  • Strong understanding of supply chain optimization, network design, and global logistics frameworks
  • Demonstrated ability to lead large, cross-functional teams in fast-paced, high-complexity environments
  • Experience working with data analytics tools and operational dashboards (SQL, Python, or equivalent exposure is advantageous)
  • Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree in Operations, Engineering, or MBA strongly preferred

Personal Capabilities and Qualifications

  • Systems-level thinker with the ability to identify inefficiencies across interconnected operational layers
  • Decisive under uncertainty, with a strong bias toward action backed by data
  • High adaptability in environments where processes and technologies evolve rapidly
  • Strong leadership presence with the ability to align diverse teams toward a unified operational vision
  • An analytical mindset paired with practical execution capabilities
  • Commitment to operational excellence without compromising speed or innovation

Strategic Support

  • Partner with executive leadership to shape long-term operational strategy and infrastructure investments
  • Contribute to the evolution of autonomous supply chain capabilities and digital transformation initiatives
  • Support global expansion by designing scalable operational models for new markets
  • Influence build-vs-buy decisions for logistics technologies and automation platforms
  • Mentor emerging operations leaders and build succession pipelines within the organization

Working Conditions

  • Hybrid work environment with frequent on-site presence in high-tech fulfillment centers
  • Exposure to fast-paced, high-volume operational settings powered by automation and robotics
  • Collaboration across multiple time zones and international markets
  • Periodic travel required for site launches, operational audits, and global coordination
  • High accountability role with direct impact on customer experience and business continuity
