What you'll do

  • Lead and participate in projects for the transformation and optimization of logistics and distribution operations, from the diagnostic phase to the implementation of solutions.

  • Analyze end-to-end distribution chain processes (receiving, storage, replenishment, order preparation, and shipping), identifying opportunities for improvement in costs, service levels, and operational capacity.

  • Design operational solutions and distribution models aligned with business strategic objectives and industry best practices.

  • Evaluate the performance of distribution centers by analyzing operational data, key indicators (KPIs), and productivity metrics, developing data-driven recommendations for decision-making.

  • Participate in initiatives for the selection, optimization, and implementation of Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), ensuring their alignment with operational and business requirements.

  • Define and optimize warehouse layouts, slotting strategies, and logistics flows to maximize operational efficiency and resource utilization.

  • Analyze and evaluate logistics automation, mechanization, and robotization solutions, including the development of business cases and assessments of operational and economic viability.

  • Develop analytical models, simulations, and capacity scenarios using advanced data analysis tools and digital twins to support strategic and operational decisions.

  • Prepare functional documentation, executive reports, presentations, and recommendations for operational teams and management committees.

  • Manage relationships with key clients and stakeholders, facilitate working sessions, present results, and ensure proposals are aligned with project objectives.

  • Coordinate and supervise workstreams and teams, contributing to the development of junior consultants and ensuring the quality of deliverables.

  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives, identifying trends, new technologies, and innovation opportunities in logistics and distribution operations.

  • Experience in optimizing distribution center operations, whether from a consulting perspective or as part of internal operations teams (as an analyst or operations engineer).
