Job summary

Embark is seeking a seasoned supply chain and operations leader to run client engagements across assessment, redesign, and implementation. You will own operating-model views, size gaps, and turn findings into a defensible roadmap for procurement, manufacturing, logistics, and inventory.

You will run day-to-day engagements, manage client stakeholders, and ensure quality before presenting to the engagement lead. ERP, WMS, TMS experience preferred.

Qualifications

• A strong record leading supply chain and operations engagements, from assessment through implementation.
• Deep operating-model experience: network design, S&OP, procurement, inbound, warehousing, manufacturing, logistics.
• Hands-on assessment work across procurement, manufacturing, logistics, and inventory.
• Command of supply chain cost analysis: spend-base builds, logistics and freight cost structures, and peer benchmarking.
• Strong analytical and modeling skills, with comfort working from ERP data, spend data, and a data room.
• Direct experience with senior client and deal-team stakeholders. You present findings with a clear point of view and defend them under scrutiny.
• 8+ years in management consulting, transaction advisory, or a comparable supply chain operating role.

Responsibilities

• Lead supply chain assessments for acquisition targets, platforms, and standalone operating companies. Validate operational viability, surface risks and liabilities early, and quantify cost takeout and synergy opportunities.
• Assess the current state across procurement, manufacturing, logistics, and inventory. Map processes end to end, flag manual steps, and score functional maturity against peers.
• Design future-state operating models. Set network footprint, sourcing strategy, inventory policy, spans, layers, decision rights, and headcount for the combined or standalone business.
• Act as a functional leader in technology transformations related to ERP, WMS, TMS and other business systems that impact supply chain and operations.
• Bring operations depth to the engagement. Assess S&OP, demand planning, and inventory management, and tie those processes to the financial outcomes they drive.
• Benchmark against the right peers. Use spend, logistics cost, inventory turns, and headcount benchmarks to build a position clients, buyers, and sellers will underwrite.
• Lead post-close and post-redesign implementation. Build the Day-1 readiness plan, the transformation roadmap and the governance model, then support execution.
• Run the engagement day to day. Manage the timeline, integrate the workstreams, and serve as a primary point of contact for the client.
• Direct and develop the team. Guide associates and functional specialists, and review their work before it goes out.
