Senior Director Digital Twin Warehousing

Overview

We are seeking a Sr. Director, Digital Twin Warehousing to define, build, and scale Pepsi Co’s global Warehousing Digital Twin product line across all distribution centers, warehouses, and mixing centers. This role will own the strategy, product roadmap, and value delivery of warehousing-focused digital twins that improve throughput, space utilization, service performance, and cost-to-serve through simulation, intelligent insights, and operational optimization.

This leader will bring a strong product mindset to transform warehousing digital twins from isolated site solutions into scalable, reusable products—delivered through a highly matrixed organization across Supply Chain Operations, Transformation, Sector IT, Data/AI, and strategic partners. The portfolio spans Spatial Twins, Engineering (Simulation) Twins, Operational Twins, Integrated Supply Chain Twins, and Adaptive Twins, including Intelligent Vision and Discrete Event Simulation capabilities embedded into warehousing workflows and systems.

Warehousing Digital Twin Product Strategy (Vision, Roadmap, Scale):

• Own the global vision, multi-year roadmap, and operating model for the Warehousing Digital Twin product line across DCs, warehouses, and mixing centers.
• Define standard warehousing problem statements and scalable features to focus investment on repeatable products vs. one-off site solutions.
• Establish clear product outcomes and performance measures tied to warehousing KPIs (e.g., throughput, congestion, labor productivity, service).
• Drive a global adoption strategy including deployment waves, change management, training, and site enablement.

Digital Twin Products & Capabilities Delivery (Warehousing Portfolio):

• Deliver Spatial Digital Twins for site master planning, space optimization, and layout-driven decision support.
• Deliver Engineering Twins using material flow planning and discrete event simulation for what-if scenarios, capacity, and constraint testing.
• Deliver Operational Twins integrating WMS-to-execution workflows (e.g., WMS → WES), enabling continuous monitoring and operational optimization.
• Scale advanced capabilities including automation asset optimization simulation (AGVs/cobots), synthetic data enablement for robotics training, and next-generation adaptive twin capabilities.

Intelligent Vision & Insights as Warehousing Products:

• Own Intelligent Vision as a scalable warehousing product capability enabling root cause analysis and operational insights.
• Partner with vision, AI, and data teams to deploy vision-based analytics supporting quality, safety, and efficiency use cases in warehouse environments.
• Ensure vision outputs become reusable “platform-ready” modules (data products, event signals, models) that can be replicated across sites.
• Establish continuous improvement loops that validate accuracy, business impact, and operational adoption.

Cross-Functional Leadership, Governance, and Value Realization:

• Lead execution through mission-based delivery teams by aligning business, technology, and data stakeholders to deliver scalable warehousing products.
• Partner closely with the Digital Twin Platform & Solutions leader to ensure warehousing products are delivered on standardized platform services and architectures.
• Drive executive-ready business cases, benefit tracking, and value realization governance, ensuring measurable outcomes and transparent reporting.
• Lead strategic vendor and partner collaboration for warehousing twin delivery (simulation providers, vision partners, system integrators), ensuring roadmap alignment and accountable delivery.
