About The Position

Position Summary... Owns the enterprise end-to-end (E2E) Safety strategy and transformation agenda across Stores, Supply Chain, and Omni/Digital, with deep focus on automation-enabled operations, legacy distribution environments, and manufacturing/processing facilities. Leads the design and enterprise rollout of an Executive Safety Management System (SMS) to reduce incidents, strengthen OSHA and regulatory compliance (including PSM where applicable), and improve associate and customer safety. Establishes the multi-year vision, operating model, and governance to scale safety programs from pilots to enterprise adoption. What you'll do... Modernize Supply Chain safety for automated and legacy environments: Define safety standards and controls that address risks in highly automated facilities (robotics, conveyors, AS/RS) while also improving execution in legacy SC buildings with varied layouts, equipment age, and process maturity. Extend safety strategy into manufacturing/processing operations: Partner with manufacturing and processing leaders to strengthen hazard identification, process controls, and compliance routines aligned to OSHA requirements and site-specific risk profiles. Build enterprise capability in OSHA/PSM disciplines: Embed safety management and Process Safety Management (PSM) expectations into enterprise standards, leader routines, and training—ensuring consistent application for high-hazard processes and regulated operations. Advance high-hazard energy and chemical risk management: Establish governance and technical pathways for emerging and complex hazards (e.g., hydrogen, ammonia, steam systems) including contractor controls, MOC/permit-to-work alignment, and escalation protocols. Lead labor-intensive rollout and adoption strategy: Create the enterprise change plan (communications, training, field routines, leader standard work) to deploy the Executive SMS across Supply Chain—building a repeatable playbook that can be copied and scaled across formats. Own the Executive Safety Management System end-to-end: Design, implement, and continuously improve the Executive SMS (governance, standards, audits/assurance, metrics, and operating cadence), ensuring it drives measurable reductions in incident frequency and severity. What You’ll Bring Demonstrated experience leading safety strategy across Supply Chain automation, legacy distribution facilities, and/or manufacturing/processing environments. Working knowledge of OSHA safety management systems and experience applying or governing PSM-related programs (as applicable to high-hazard operations). Experience managing risk in complex energy/chemical systems (e.g., hydrogen, ammonia, steam) and translating technical requirements into executable field routines. Proven ability to lead large-scale, labor-intensive change rollouts with clear governance, adoption metrics, and executive-level communication.
