Job Description

Job Description:

  • Implement dynamic, velocity-based slotting logic that leverages seasonal trends and order affinity to position high-demand SKUs for minimal travel and maximum accessibility.
  • Engineer high-density storage models and long-range capacity forecasting to maximize cubic utilization while aligning the physical footprint with projected inventory growth.
  • Architect end-to-end warehouse designs and storage type assignments that integrate structural engineering requirements with the most cost-effective racking or shelving technology.
  • Develop shrinkage heatmapping and predictive loss models to visually identify high-risk zones and inventory categories prone to physical or systemic discrepancies.
  • Design a comprehensive cycle count and stocktake framework that prioritizes high-value, high-velocity SKUs to ensure real-time inventory integrity with minimal operational disruption.
  • Build statistical root cause models to analyze variances, distinguishing between administrative errors and physical theft to drive targeted shrinkage reduction initiatives.
  • Redesign operational control points and systemic validation steps, engineering loss attribution modeling to assign financial accountability across the entire product lifecycle.

Requirements:

  • 1-5 years of experience in warehouse layout planning, facility management, or supply chain operations, with a proven track record in optimizing spatial layouts candidates with relevant internship experience in large-scale warehouses or distribution centers are considered.
  • Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interpret data on product turnover, storage requirements, and operational flow to inform layout and slotting decisions.
  • Strong problem solving skills, with the ability to deconstruct complex, ambiguous challenges into actionable solutions by leveraging data-driven logic and strategic thinking.
  • Familiarity with warehouse operations (inbound, outbound, inventory management) and material handling equipment, understanding how their workflows interact with spatial design.
  • Knowledge of storage systems (e.g., pallet racking types, shelving configurations) and their suitability for different product characteristics (size, weight, turnover).
  • Proficiency in using layout planning tools (e.g., CAD software, warehouse simulation tools) and data analysis tools (e.g., Excel, SQL) to design layouts and track space utilization metrics.
  • Experience in developing layout documentation, zone management rules, and training materials for warehouse staff.
  • Adaptability to adjust layouts in response to dynamic factors such as business growth, new product lines, or technological upgrades.
  • Good communication and collaboration skills to work with cross-functional teams (inbound, outbound, inventory, equipment maintenance) and gather input on layout needs.
  • Familiarity with safety regulations and industry standards related to warehouse layout (e.g., fire codes, aisle width requirements) is preferred.
  • Proficient in verbal and written English communication, with the ability to document layout plans and collaborate with international teams if needed.
