Senior Manager, Supply Chain Engineering is a hands‑on engineering and execution role responsible for driving operational improvement across Leslie’s distribution and logistics network. This individual applies industrial engineering principles—facility layout, process engineering, network optimization, and capital project development—to identify, quantify, and implement supply chain improvements. The role owns a structured initiative pipeline and leads cross‑functional project execution from scoping through delivery.

• Conduct facility layout, slotting, and process flow analysis across the DC network to improve pick efficiency, labor productivity, and space utilization.
• Perform network flow modeling to identify lowest‑cost distribution configurations and evaluate capacity, expansion, and consolidation scenarios.
• Develop engineering‑based business cases for capital investments—equipment, automation, and facility improvements—with supporting ROI, labor impact, and throughput analysis.
• Apply industrial engineering methods (time study, simulation, process mapping) to identify waste, standardize operations, and justify improvement investments.
• Evaluate DC bypass, direct‑from‑vendor fulfillment, and milk run opportunities through structured network and cost modeling.

• Own and maintain a prioritized supply chain initiative roadmap, translating engineering findings and operational gaps into structured, executable projects.
• Lead end‑to‑end project execution—defining scope, milestones, resource requirements, and measurable outcomes aligned to operational and financial targets.
• Coordinate cross‑functional project teams spanning DC Operations, Transportation, Procurement, IT, and Vendor Compliance.
• Prepare and deliver business cases, project updates, and post‑implementation results for VP and senior leadership.
• Proactively identify risks, dependencies, and blockers—driving resolution without escalation where possible.

• Partner with IT and operations teams to identify process and data capture gaps that limit supply chain visibility or execution effectiveness.
• Support WMS, ERP, and planning system enhancements by providing operational requirements, process documentation, and implementation support.
• Develop reusable engineering standards, process templates, and operational playbooks that scale across the distribution network.
• Champion continuous improvement discipline—building structured feedback loops between site operations and the initiative roadmap.

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Engineering Management, Supply Chain Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in industrial engineering, supply chain engineering, or operations engineering—direct DC or logistics network exposure.
• Hands‑on experience in facility layout, slotting optimization, process engineering, or network flow analysis.
• Proven ability to develop and deliver capital project business cases with quantified ROI and operational impact.
• Strong project management skills—able to lead cross‑functional initiatives from scoping through execution and results tracking.
• Proficiency in Excel modeling; experience with engineering analysis tools, simulation software, or optimization platforms a plus.
• Strong communication skills—able to translate engineering findings into clear operational and financial recommendations for senior leadership.
