Shape the future of supply chain networks across retail, FMCG, 3PL and automation-led environments
We are partnering with a specialist supply chain solutions team to appoint an experienced DC Design Consultant based in the United States (remote). This is a high-impact role focused on designing, modelling, and delivering best-in-class distribution and warehouse solutions for complex client environments.
This is not a standard operational role. It is a supply chain design and consulting position where you will solve complex logistics challenges, evaluate alternative network and warehouse configurations, and build commercially sound business cases that support major transformation decisions.
If you enjoy solving complex problems, working with senior stakeholders, and designing supply chain solutions that directly influence commercial outcomes — this is an opportunity to do exactly that.
About the Role
As a DC Design Consultant, you will work within a high-performing project environment to support the design and optimisation of supply chain and distribution networks for a diverse portfolio of clients across retail, FMCG, 3PL, and automation sectors.
You will combine strong analytical capability, commercial acumen, and supply chain design expertise to evaluate solution alternatives and support decision-making through structured modelling and business case development.
This role requires someone who can move seamlessly between data analysis, operational design thinking, and executive-level communication.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and evaluate end-to-end supply chain and distribution centre solutions
- Develop conceptual models for warehouse, DC, and logistics network optimisation
- Assess alternative supply chain design options based on client requirements
- Build robust financial business cases using discounted cash flow (DCF) analysis
- Conduct cost-to-serve, landed cost, and scenario-based modelling
- Evaluate warehouse automation and 3PL solutions within client environments
- Undertake detailed supply chain process assessment and improvement analysis
- Prepare high-quality reports, presentations, and client deliverables
- Engage with senior internal and external stakeholders across project lifecycles
- Support delivery of major supply chain transformation and implementation projects
- Ensure alignment between operational feasibility, technical design, and commercial outcomes
What Success Looks Like
Success in this role is defined by your ability to:
- Translate complex supply chain problems into clear, executable design solutions
- Build credible, data-driven financial models that support investment decisions
- Deliver accurate, high-quality project outputs within agreed timelines
- Influence senior stakeholders through clear communication and structured thinking
- Contribute to successful delivery of large-scale supply chain transformation programs
- Identify practical, scalable solutions that balance cost, service, and operational performance
About You
This role will suit a commercially minded supply chain professional with strong analytical and design capability. You will likely bring experience across consulting, supply chain design, logistics engineering, or automation-led environments.
You will have:
- Experience in supply chain design, network optimisation, or logistics consulting
- Strong background in retail, FMCG, 3PL, manufacturing, or automation sectors
- Exposure to warehouse design, distribution network modelling, or procurement/logistics optimisation
- Strong financial modelling capability (including DCF and cost-to-serve analysis)
- Advanced Excel and PowerPoint skills with strong analytical capability
- Experience working on complex, multi-stakeholder projects
- Ability to manage competing priorities in fast-paced project environments
- Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
- A commercial mindset with the ability to link design decisions to business outcomes
You are likely someone who enjoys solving complex problems, working across multiple industries, and contributing to large-scale operational transformation initiatives.
Why This Role
This is a rare opportunity to step into a role where you will:
- Work on high-impact supply chain design projects across multiple industries
- Influence major operational and capital investment decisions
- Develop and present solutions to senior executive stakeholders
- Work remotely within a flexible USA-based environment
- Be part of a specialist team focused on advanced supply chain optimisation
- Build deep expertise in network design, automation, and logistics strategy
Location
This is a fully remote role based in the United States, with collaboration across distributed project teams and clients operating across multiple regions and time zones.
