DC Wave Release and Flow Optimization Analyst
Ready to own the flow?
Do you like asking “What’s the fastest way to get this out the door?” and backing it up with smart scheduling? In this role, you’ll turn order backlogs into executable waves, release work at the right moments, and keep both inbound and outbound dock turn times within target.
Your mission
Transform order volume into a balanced plan that boosts interleaving, lifts productivity, and keeps carriers happy.
What you will do
- Allocate orders and release tasks to the warehouse queue with timing that maximizes throughput.
- Continuously balance workflow so inbound/outbound truck turn times remain within acceptable levels.
- Triage product shortages and make informed order cuts; communicate changes promptly to customers.
- Align daily priorities for individual Lift Truck Operators (LTOs) in partnership with Dock Supervisors.
What you need
- Warehouse operations experience preferred.
- High school diploma or GED preferred.
- Excellent communication skills, including bilingual English/Spanish capability for customer-facing updates.
- A service mindset suited to a sales-oriented, performance-driven environment.
- Manual dexterity for standard office tasks; the ability to talk, hear, and see effectively to complete assigned work.
- Comfort entering areas that may be at or below freezing when visiting facility operations.
Picture this
A carrier arrives early on a busy afternoon. You re-time a release, interleave picks to reduce travel, shift LTO priorities with the Dock Supervisor, and notify a customer about a necessary order cut—keeping their expectations aligned. The truck turns fast and the floor never stalls. That’s your signature.
