In this role, you will focus on the challenge of strategically planning the warehouse network and space to stay ahead of demand. You will develop the blueprint on how to scale warehousing capabilities for the next decade, ensuring that infrastructure can be deployed anywhere in the world with speed, efficiency, and precision.
