Manager, Distribution Programs

The Role

The Manager, Distribution Programs is responsible for evaluating, scoping, implementing, and launching programs impacting Peloton’s warehousing and distribution network. Programs range from short multi-week engagements impacting a small team to months-long global system implementations impacting multiple departments (E.g. Manufacturing, Hardware, Quality, Planning, Logistics, Last Mile, Accounting, Supply Chain IT). As a key leader and organizer within the business team, you drive for high quality and timely delivery in every initiative. You will expect a high standard of documentation for systems and processes that support  business capabilities and are expected to maintain forward looking roadmaps for future capability delivery.  You will be required to provide guidance to organizational leadership using data driven analysis and your industry experience, to ensure the right trade-offs as we scale the business and build mature tools to support a growing organization. To excel in this role, you will need to possess a unique mix of technical skills, analytical capability, program and project management expertise, and the ability to create and maintain collaborative working relationships with cross-functional teams and their leaders. As Peloton grows and expands in new marketplaces and broadens its supply chain footprint, you will play a critical role in executing on our future state warehousing and distribution capability deployments.
