• Drive cost savings through cost-benefit analyses and financial evaluations, developing strategies that reduce costs while maintaining or improving quality
• Lead cross-functional projects, coordinating timelines, resources, and deliverables to implement process improvements and support the launch of new Nellis Auction locations
• Design facility layouts for equipment, materials, and workspace to maximize efficiency across warehouse and order fulfillment operations
• Shape new facility launches by working directly with launch teams to optimize operational design from day one
• Support capital planning by helping develop capital improvement projects and budgets, including ROI calculations
• Provide technical support to Maintenance, Operations, and IT teams during downtime events or technical deployments
• Guide expansion planning by partnering with Senior Operations Leadership to understand the operational impact of future growth
• Vet employee-driven improvement ideas from across our warehouse locations, establishing clear paths to pilot or deploy the best ones
