The Supplier Operations Project Management arm is responsible for driving change on a variety of impactful and high value operational improvements in relation to the inbound supply chain.  Mutually beneficial to Wayfair and suppliers alike, these improvements enable more efficient transportation and receiving, faster and more timely shipping, and increased inbound visibility into both our fulfillment warehouses and our large parcel consolidation facilities.

Wayfair is seeking a talented and driven leader to build and execute these improvement opportunities within the inbound supply chain.  As a project manager, you will be responsible for coordinating these initiatives across the operations group and delivering tangible results towards core business priorities.  Day to day responsibilities include a balanced mix of in-depth data analysis, group problem solving, project coordination, and communication of progress and results.

The ideal candidate is an energetic team player who understands how to effectively drive results in a fast-paced and rapidly growing company.  Strong quantitate skills are required in order to analyze performance and efficacy of solutions, and due to the cross-functional nature of this position and high visibility with senior leadership, effective communication, leadership, and presence are also highly valued.  Structured prioritization and creative problem solving skills are also both essential.
