Logistics - Project Fulfillment Consultant
Job Summary
As a Project Fulfillment Consultant, you'll be at the forefront of developing strategic and systematic approaches that not only enhance our operational efficiency but also directly impact our business revenue and profitability. Your role goes beyond routine tasks; you'll be a key influencer in shaping the trajectory of short and long-term projects, providing constructive guidance to stakeholders, and investigating urgent fulfillment issues. Dive into the heart of data analysis, crafting reports that not only identify trends but also recommend proactive solutions aligning with our company's goals. Are you ready to not just adapt but thrive in an environment where your contributions make a tangible impact? Join us as we pioneer the next chapter in operational excellence.
Responsibilities
• Manage “Staged Order” Projects: these are large orders offered to customers in need of a tailored, consolidated order, and a pre-scheduled delivery. These orders can consist of either first-time opening orders for new locations or large replenishment orders for existing locations. It is the Project Fulfillment Consultant's duty to map out each project’s road map, identify and coordinate with an optimal staging location, facilitate the sourcing, allocation, and consolidation of inventory, and ensure smooth shipping and delivery to the customer.
• Oversee “Rollout” Projects: these projects involve the distribution of an item or items to multiple locations. In the chain restaurant distribution industry, a rollout is typically when an item or set of items is shipped to all restaurants within the chain (or all restaurants within a test market). The Project Fulfillment Consultant is responsible for ensuring stock counts can meet the needs of the customer and coordinating with the warehouse on any special packaging or delivery requirements.
• Facilitate “Bulk Order” Fulfillment: these are typically large, non-traditional orders that require tailored oversight due to their size and scope. The Project Fulfillment Consultant’s job is to advise on the sourcing, cost-effectiveness, and timeline of these orders, and to provide project specifications and shipping instructions to our warehouse team.
Ultimately, the Project Fulfillment Consultant is responsible for the sustained profitability, integration of best practices, and development of operational efficiencies as it relates to the fulfillment of staged and consolidated order projects for both the multi-unit and institutional market segments of the food service industry. This position serves as a trusted advisor to management, customers, and account managers regarding the complex nuances of opening order consolidation, bulk shipments, rollouts, and other forms of project fulfillment.
This position also responds to complex fulfillment issues that can be urgent or unstable and typically can only be completed successfully within a limited time. Balancing time between strategic projects and day-to-day customer needs is a critical component for success in the position.
