Position Purpose

The Business Process Lead – Front End supports the strategy, design, and rollout of complex ordering systems and processes that shape the workflows associates perform on the store floor; picking, staging, checkout, and fulfilling customer orders. This role sits at the intersection of customer order management, order fulfillment, and the interconnected ordering experience, prioritizing the customer and associate experience throughout.

The Business Process Lead owns this end-to-end: finding what gets in the way of serving customers, aligning stakeholders around a solution grounded in rigorous data analysis, building it, rolling it out, and change-managing it into the field. The successful candidate is the product owner of a key part of the in-store order flow, bringing a product mindset that highlights curiosity, systems thinking and problem-framing. They will do this alongside having strong analysis, project and process management, as well as stakeholder management skills.

• 2+ years in a role requiring structured problem-solving and stakeholder management — product analysis, business analysis, operations, consulting, field/store leadership, or a comparable path
• A strategic, systems & processes-oriented thinker
• Comfort ramping to functional speed quickly in a complex ordering/store-operations domain
• Foundational familiarity with SQL and product tooling (JIRA, Pendo, or similar) is an asset, not a requirement
• Product-lifecycle experience is a strong asset; a genuine feel for physical frontline processes is also valued
