Here, your work directly supports the store mission to be the guest favorite through successfully developing and communicating the processes for operations, style and experience, new structures, new operating models and new technology, and utilizing workforce management activities for our 1,800 locations nationwide. Store Operations manages and enhances the informational resources for researching and resolving operational issues, while guiding and communicating with the field team and leaders who use them. Are you a customer service enthusiast who can actively listen to many points of view and then visualize how they’ll perform when operationalized in a store? Are you happy to partner with leaders as well as field team members who are often the experts on how well a process is working? Can you creatively envision more efficient processes and how they’ll deliver a better experience for guests and team members? Do you possess the innovative mindset to question the status quo, and the confidence to work under varying degrees of ambiguity and well-informed experimentation? Then you’ll have success on one of our dynamic teams.

A role with Process Operations means a big opportunity to apply your logistics, supply chain and fulfillment experience to continuously improve the strategies that fuel behind-the-scenes processes like fulfillment, replenishment and inventory accuracy.

As a Lead Operations Engineer, you will design, test and implement optimal process solutions in stores by applying engineered standards to identify the most desirable outcome. You’ll lead assignments and also function as a consultant on cross-functional project teams to deliver on a key strategic initiative. This role will validate assumptions, update and apply engineered standards to design process solutions. You will spend time designing proof of concepts, pilot and develop a chain-wide roll out strategy focused on adoption of efficiency guidelines and behaviors in stores. You will identify areas for productivity and process improvement through analysis and modeling, and lead events to test and realize process improvements from implemented changes. In this role, you will perform continuous external benchmarking of in-store processes to identify synergies, model future retail innovations and build future process roadmaps that leverage AI and automation.
