- Deep experience with global ERP/WMS implementations and e-commerce ecosystem integrations (e.g., Shopify Plus)
- Prior experience in management consulting or a "Head of Staff" role within a global operations function
What the job involves
- As the Operations Program Lead, Strategic Initiatives, you will be the "right hand" to our fulfillment leadership, acting as the primary architect for our most critical scaling initiatives
- From launching new regional distribution hubs to re-engineering our NPI (New Product Introduction) readiness, you will translate executive vision into the physical reality of a world-class supply chain
- If you are a high-level problem solver who thrives on navigating ambiguity and building the systems of the future, come help us shape how cutting-edge technology reaches the world
- Lead the development and execution of the global fulfillment and logistics roadmap, ensuring all strategic projects align with high-level growth objectives and margin targets
- Oversee the end-to-end management of "heavy lift" operational transitions, including 3PL migrations, new warehouse launches, and the integration of advanced fulfillment technologies

- Implement a culture of continuous improvement by identifying systemic bottlenecks in our Order-to-Delivery lifecycle and designing scalable solutions to eliminate them
- Collaborate with Finance, Sales, and Product leadership to build robust "what-if" scenario models for market expansion, carrier shifts, and inventory positioning
- Drive the evolution of our global delivery strategy, moving the organization toward hyper-accurate "Estimated Delivery Dates" and optimized shipping margins through technical and process innovation
- Integrate diverse regional requirements into a unified global operating model, ensuring that as we scale, our processes remain consistent, efficient, and data-driven
- Mentor and influence a high-performing global team, acting as a force multiplier for the leadership team and fostering an environment of accountability and strategic thinking
Our take
Formlabs' founders met at MIT in 2011, and set about creating a company that would disrupt the 3D printing market. While the majority of the industry was experiencing a crash, Formlabs managed to buck the trend by implementing additive manufacturing (stereolithography) to a desktop form factor.
While many 3D printing manufacturers have tried in vain to market their hardware to home users, Formlabs has maintained a laser-sharp focus on serving the needs of professionals and large-scale companies such as Coke and Sony. Striving to keep costs low while maintaining an optimal user experience, the company has sold well over 100,000 printers.
With considerable funding at its back, Formlabs has continued to develop new solutions such as a series of mass manufacturing solutions that enable its customers to dramatically increase their 3D printing output. As the largest supplier of professional SLA and SLS 3D printers in the world, the company is well set to further its position and achieve further global growth.
