## Job description

## About the Role

The Sort Capacity Manager owns network-wide capacity de-risking for the Sort organization. This role builds and maintains the constraint model that defines what “de-risked capacity” means across every 1P and 3P facility — dock door availability, floor/pallet-position space, max throughput, and optimal labor and automation.

## About the Team

- Own the network constraint model — Model site capacity against its underlying constraints: dock door availability (inbound/outbound truck cadence by hour, translated from Mx forecast), floor/pallet-position space (inbound-to-outbound hourly volume vs. staging capacity), max throughput (automation vs. manual sortation rate, package profile mix, cross-dock vs. sort), and optimal labor hours required to hit max output.
- Govern spoke capacity data — Drive spoke capacity maintenance in the sort app, ensuring product reflects current facility configuration, and hold cross-functional partners accountable when it doesn't.
- Own zip-to-facility strategy — Own zip code-to-facility mapping and re-optimization as volume and rates shift, balancing service-level and cost trade-offs.
- Own device and consumable readiness — Forecast scanners, bins, and gaylords against site growth to avoid reactive procurement; own the readiness cadence end to end.
- Scope hub-to-spoke routing opportunities — Build the business case for hub-sort-to-spoke direct routing and bring recommendations forward to Network Design and Real Estate.
- Close forecasting product gaps — Identify where forecasting tools fail to capture capacity reality and drive the fix with Data/Product partners.
- Own Mx launch — Own Mx launch end to end, including CET allocation by merchant priority, negotiating trade-offs across competing merchant demands.

You're excited about this opportunity because you will…

- 3-6-12 month runway visibility ahead of any projected capacity constraint.
- Site launch recommendations delivered proactively, not reactively.
- % of high-priority Mx launches assigned an optimal CET.

We're excited about you because you have…

- Strategic model ownership — You've built and owned a capacity, forecasting, or network constraint model that became a standing input to planning — not a one-off analysis.
- Independent judgment — You can independently judge where the real bottleneck is across a large, multi-site network, without a pre-scoped problem statement.
- Cross-functional negotiation — You've negotiated trade-off recommendations with senior, cross-functional stakeholders (e.g., Network Design, Real Estate, Finance) and influenced capital-adjacent decisions.
- Physical operations fluency — You understand physical warehouse operations deeply enough to translate dock, floor, throughput, and labor constraints into a single model.
- Experience — 7+ years in supply chain, network strategy, or operations, with direct experience owning capacity planning or site launch strategy at scale.
- Executive communication — You communicate trade-offs and risk clearly and concisely to senior leadership, and you know what to escalate versus resolve independently.

We expect this position to be filled by 12-26-2026
