About the role
- Stord's Distribution Centers are getting faster, denser, and more automated - and the software gap between "robots on the floor" and "orders out the door" is the single biggest lever we have left to pull.
- This is not a vendor-integration role where you glue together AutoStore's API and call it done.
- Material Handling & Automation Orchestration
Responsibilities
- Design and own the plan for building a plug and play integration layer.
- Build the "is this worth building" case - cost, throughput, labor impact, integration complexity - with enough rigor that a "no" is as valuable a deliverable as a "yes."
- Own the build-vs-defer tradeoffs on WES scope - this system will not do everything on day one, and you're the one who says what's in v1 vs. v3.
- Design how WES coordinates across heterogeneous automation types - goods-to-person (AutoStore-class), AS/RS, conveyor/sortation, and robotics - even though we're building the orchestration layer ourselves rather than buying it.
- Partner with Engineering and Controls/Automation stakeholders to define the contracts (data, timing, failure modes) between WES and physical equipment, so this doesn't become a science project that only works in the demo warehouse.
- Build the operational logic for real-world failure conditions: equipment down, congestion spikes, mixed manual/automated backup flows. Automation vendors' brochures assume nothing ever breaks. You don't get that luxury.
- Own metrics that tie WES performance to business outcomes: throughput, order cycle time, labor utilization, automation uptime, and exception rate - not vanity feature-shipped counts.
- Stord is leveling the playing field for all brands to deliver the best consumer experience at scale.
- With Stord, brands can increase cart conversion, improve unit economics, and drive sustained customer loyalty.
- You are building the brain that makes automation actually behave like it's part of one system, not five bolted-on ones.
Requirements
- 5-7+ years in product management, with a substantial chunk of that in operationally complex, physical-world environments - warehouse/DC operations, supply chain systems, manufacturing execution, or robotics/automation.
- Experience with real-time systems, event-driven architectures, or optimization/scheduling logic.
Compensation
- Stord manages over $10 billion of commerce annually through its fulfillment, warehousing, transportation, and operator-built software suite including OMS, Pre- and Post-Purchase, and WMS platforms.
Benefits
- Hundreds of leading DTC and B2B companies like AG1, True Classic, Native, Seed Health, quip, goodr, Sundays for Dogs, and more trust Stord to deliver industry-leading consumer experiences on every order.
Company info
- To meet and exceed this target, Stord is strategically scaling teams across the entire company, and seeking energetic experts to help us achieve our mission.
