Inventory slotting & Storage Optimization (Scommerce)

About the team

The Inventory slotting & Storage Optimization is operating under the Inventory & Asset team in Operations Excellence function. This team is responsible for the strategic planning, design, optimization, and execution of warehouse inventory management, storage layouts and stock balancing between warehouses network, playing a critical role in maximizing space utilization, improving operational efficiency, and enhancing the customer and staff experience.

What you'll do

• Implement dynamic, velocity-based slotting logic that leverages seasonal trends and order affinity to position high-demand SKUs for minimal travel and maximum accessibility.
• Engineer high-density storage models and long-range capacity forecasting to maximize cubic utilization while aligning the physical footprint with projected inventory growth.
• Architect end-to-end warehouse designs and storage type assignments that integrate structural engineering requirements with the most cost-effective racking or shelving technology.
• Develop shrinkage heatmapping and predictive loss models to visually identify high-risk zones and inventory categories prone to physical or systemic discrepancies.
• Design a comprehensive cycle count and stocktake framework that prioritizes high-value, high-velocity SKUs to ensure real-time inventory integrity with minimal operational disruption.
• Build statistical root cause models to analyze variances, distinguishing between administrative errors and physical theft to drive targeted shrinkage reduction initiatives.
• Redesign operational control points and systemic validation steps, engineering loss attribution modeling to assign financial accountability across the entire product lifecycle.

Requirements

• 1–5 years of experience in warehouse layout planning, facility management, or supply chain operations, with a proven track record in optimizing spatial layouts; candidates with relevant internship experience in large-scale warehouses or distribution centers are considered.​
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interpret data on product turnover, storage requirements, and operational flow to inform layout and slotting decisions.
• Strong problem solving skills, with the ability to deconstruct complex, ambiguous challenges into actionable solutions by leveraging data-driven logic and strategic thinking.​
• Familiarity with warehouse operations (inbound, outbound, inventory management) and material handling equipment, understanding how their workflows interact with spatial design.​
• Knowledge of storage systems (e.g., pallet racking types, shelving configurations) and their suitability for different product characteristics (size, weight, turnover).​
• Proficiency in using layout planning tools (e.g., CAD software, warehouse simulation tools) and data analysis tools (e.g., Excel, SQL) to design layouts and track space utilization metrics.​
• Experience in developing layout documentation, zone management rules, and training materials for warehouse staff.​
• Adaptability to adjust layouts in response to dynamic factors such as business growth, new product lines, or technological upgrades.​
• Good communication and collaboration skills to work with cross-functional teams (inbound, outbound, inventory, equipment maintenance) and gather input on layout needs.​
• Familiarity with safety regulations and industry standards related to warehouse layout (e.g., fire codes, aisle width requirements) is preferred.​
• Proficient in verbal and written English communication, with the ability to document layout plans and collaborate with international teams if needed.​
