## 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
