  • Co-develop audit frameworks and logs measuring adherence to key system and process standards.
  • Maintain centralized compliance dashboards and trackers used by leadership.
  • Ensure audit results reflect operational reality and drive improvement rather than blame.
  • Collect feedback from associates and managers on system usability and process pain points.
  • Translate insights into clear, actionable recommendations for Product.
  • Verify that new features or process changes are adopted and functioning as intended.
  • Consolidate observations into concise scorecards and reports for Product and Operations leadership.
  • Identify trends or systemic issues requiring product or process changes.
  • Present findings in governance meetings and track progress to closure.
  • Conduct hands-on user research on the warehouse floor to understand how associates interact with WMS tools, scanning workflows, and system interfaces.
  • Observe usability friction points and gather qualitative insights to inform product design and improve user experience.
  • Benchmark tools, workflows, and capabilities against industry practices and competitor solutions.
  • Provide synthesized findings that influence product roadmap decisions and ensure Shipfusion’s tools remain competitive, intuitive, and operator-friendly.

What you'll bring to the team (Required Skills):

  • 3–4 years of relevant experience in logistics, operations, or a related field.
