Lead initiatives related to Go Further Women, a Supply Chain initiative designed to encourage and support women in Supply Chain Operations.

What You'll Bring:

• Minimum of 4-8 years of experience in process improvement, operations management, or supply chain management, preferably in a large warehouse environment.
