What you will get to do:

• Customer Discovery & Solution Design:
  • Lead discovery with prospects and customers to understand business priorities, service requirements, current and future operating models, technology environments, data, constraints, and desired outcomes.
  • Translate complex service supply chain requirements into end-to-end solution designs spanning inventory positioning, warehousing, fulfillment, transportation, returns, service levels, technology, data, integrations, and other applicable capabilities.
  • Analyze customer operational, inventory, order, SLA, geographic, and cost data to identify patterns, validate assumptions, quantify requirements, and evaluate solution alternatives.

• Solution Definition & Deal-to-Delivery:
  • Lead development of Statements of Work in partnership with Sales, Operations, Implementation, Pricing, and other stakeholders, ensuring the contracted scope accurately reflects the approved solution.
  • Clearly define implementation requirements, dependencies, timelines, data needs, technology requirements, and change-management considerations before handoff.
  • Own solution design integrity from discovery through implementation handoff, remaining engaged during implementation to resolve design questions, evaluate material scope changes, and ensure the implemented solution remains consistent with approved design assumptions.
  • Facilitate effective knowledge transfer among Sales, customers, Implementation, Operations, Technology, and other stakeholders to reduce execution risk and establish clear ownership.
• Capability, Technology & Continuous Improvement:
  • Maintain expert knowledge of the company's service portfolio, global operating capabilities, processes, network, and supporting technology.
  • Maintain sufficient technical fluency to understand how customer and systems, data, integrations, analytics, automation, and emerging technologies affect solution design and execution.
  • Use modern analytical, automation, and AI-enabled tools to accelerate analysis, synthesize complex information, evaluate alternatives, improve solution quality, and increase effectiveness, while applying appropriate judgment and validation to outputs.
  • Identify recurring customer requirements and market needs that may represent opportunities for new or enhanced company services, capabilities, technology, or product offerings, and provide structured feedback to the appropriate teams.
  • Coach Sales and other internal stakeholders on brand capabilities, solution design principles, and the operational and technical considerations that affect customer solutions.
