Warehouse Operations Analyst

Salary: $85,000 - 100,000 annually + MyShare Equity Program

The Warehouse Operations Analyst is a business analyst embedded within the Operations organization, responsible for translating warehouse operating problems into well-designed process, system, and analytical solutions. The role is empowered to investigate root causes, design future-state processes, evaluate and recommend technology and tooling changes, and influence the decisions that shape how RJW's warehouse network operates. This is not an order-taking position; the Warehouse Operations Analyst is expected to bring forward hypotheses, data, and recommendations that drive measurable improvement in productivity, quality, and operating cost.

The role partners closely with warehouse leadership, the Transformation organization, Operations Engineering & Automation, and supporting functions to scope problems, frame solution options, and drive decisions to closure. The Warehouse Operations Analyst owns the analytical and design work that sits in front of implementation producing the requirements, process designs, data analyses, and decision recommendations that downstream implementation, systems, and operations teams execute against. The role is also accountable for measuring whether changes delivered the expected outcome and recommending course corrections when they do not.

This position reports to a senior leader within the Transformation organization.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end business analysis on warehouse operating problems from initial problem framing and stakeholder discovery through current-state assessment, future-state design, requirements definition, and post-implementation measurement.
• Design and recommend process changes that improve productivity, accuracy, safety, and cost. Document current-state and future-state processes using clear narrative, swim-lane diagrams, and supporting decision artifacts.
• Evaluate and recommend system, tooling, and automation changes to address operating gaps. Build the business case, assess feasibility and risk, and partner with technology and implementation teams to bring recommendations forward for decision.
• Conduct on-site observation and structured discovery sessions at facilities to validate how work actually happens, surface inconsistency across buildings, and identify standardization opportunities.
• Develop, maintain, and analyze the operational data and KPIs that inform decision-making including throughput, labor productivity, exception rates, quality metrics, and process compliance and translate findings into specific, prioritized recommendations.
• Perform root-cause analysis on chronic operational issues, exception patterns, and performance gaps. Drive findings to a documented decision and a defined corrective action.
• Translate business needs into well-structured functional requirements, acceptance criteria, and test scenarios that downstream implementation, integration, and development teams can execute against without rework.
• Facilitate cross-functional working sessions with operations, transformation, IT, and vendor partners to align on problem definition, evaluate solution options, and drive decisions to closure.
• Partner with the Implementation team to ensure designed solutions are deployed as intended; participate in user acceptance testing, training, launch, and stabilization activities.
• Measure post-implementation outcomes against the original business case. Recommend adjustments, retraining, or process refinements where outcomes fall short.
• Author and maintain the operational documentation that supports the recommended designs SOPs, process specifications, decision logs, and reference materials ensuring they remain accurate as processes evolve.
• Identify and escalate risks, dependencies, and trade-offs early. Propose mitigation strategies and contribute to project sequencing and prioritization decisions.
• Build and maintain trusted partnerships with warehouse leadership and corporate stakeholders, serving as a credible voice on operating reality and a reliable owner of analytical work product.
