About the role

Stord's Distribution Centers are getting faster, denser, and more automated — and the software gap between "robots on the floor" and "orders out the door" is the single biggest lever we have left to pull. This role owns that gap.

What they're looking for

  • Direct exposure to warehouse execution, WMS, WCS, or material handling automation concepts — you should already know the difference between a WMS, a WCS, and a WES without googling it, and be able to explain why that distinction actually matters operationally
  • Demonstrated ability to zoom from system architecture to floor-level workflow and back — you need to be equally comfortable in a data model conversation with engineers and a "why did pick rate drop 8% on third shift" conversation with a DC ops manager
  • A track record of owning ambiguous, build-it-yourself product scope — this is not a "here's the vendor roadmap, prioritize the backlog" job. There is no vendor roadmap. You're writing it
  • Strong written and verbal communication — you'll be translating between engineers, ops leaders, and executives multiple times a day, often about the same problem, in three different vocabularies
  • Comfort with experimentation and structured ambiguity for the Innovation Lab portion — you need to be able to design a pilot with a real kill criterion, not just "let's try it and see."
  • Willingness to travel to DC sites — this system does not get built correctly from a conference room. If you're not willing to stand on a warehouse floor and watch where your logic breaks, this isn't the role. Role based at Innovation lab in Atlanta
