About The Position

Spreetail propels brands to increase their ecommerce market share across the globe while improving their operational costs. We are seeking a Senior Industrial Engineer or Senior Program Manager to lead the optimization and scaling of our fulfillment network infrastructure. In this role, you will own the long-term facility design strategy and drive the execution of multi-million-dollar capital projects, from initial concept through automation deployment. You will collaborate closely with executive leadership, operations, and external vendors to establish network-wide engineering standards that maximize density and throughput. If you have a strong background in layout engineering, capital expenditure (CapEx) management, and data-driven process improvement, this role offers the opportunity to directly shape our network's operational footprint.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain Management, or a related quantitative field.
• 5+ years of progressive experience in industrial engineering, fulfillment network planning, or large-scale logistics program management.
• A proven track record of successfully scoping, budgeting, and deploying $5M+ greenfield or automation-heavy brownfield capital projects.
• Advanced proficiency in AutoCAD/SketchUp for facility layout design, paired with expert-level data extraction and modeling capabilities (SQL, Power BI, Python, or discrete event simulation tools like FlexSim).
• Demonstrated ability to influence executive stakeholders, manage high-performing project teams, and navigate complex, ambiguous cross-functional environments.

Nice To Haves

• We believe the right person can learn what is needed to succeed in their role, so we encourage job applicants to apply even if you don’t meet all the qualifications listed.
• We are looking for diverse backgrounds and perspectives, so we don’t require college degrees and welcome non-linear career paths.

Responsibilities

• Capitalize and lead end-to-end launch strategies for new fulfillment centers (FCs) and major retrofits.
• Own multi-million-dollar capital expenditure (CapEx) budgets, negotiate with external automation and general contractors, and ensure aggressive timelines match our hyper-growth trajectory.
• Define the network-wide standards for storage capacity, vertical space utilization, and layout engineering.
• Pioneer the integration of advanced automation (e.g., AS/RS, robotics, complex conveyor systems) to radically maximize density and throughput.
• Lead complex layout overhauls utilizing advanced CAD/SketchUp modeling integrated with predictive data analytics.
• Align physical footprint design with complex inventory health metrics, long-term velocity forecasts, and macroeconomic supply chain shifts.
• Establish robust engineering metrics, predictive throughput models, and centralized Power BI/SQL frameworks.
• Synthesize complex operational data into actionable narratives for executive leadership to justify infrastructure investments.
• Act as the primary technical liaison between executive leadership, operations, tech teams, and tier-1 automation vendors.
• Manage high-value vendor relationships, negotiate service-level agreements (SLAs), and foster cross-functional alignment to mitigate deployment risks.

Benefits

• Flexibility to take care of yourself.
• Generous vacation policy.
• Paid time-off for your wedding week.
• Paid parental leave.
• Support for parents of growing families.
• Opportunity to receive special gifts, swag store credit, or donations to a nonprofit of your choice.
• Spreetail Spotlight Awards.
• Affordable medical, dental and vision plans with coast-to-coast coverage.
• Free telehealth.
• On-demand mental health resources.
• Paid time off to give back and make a social impact.
