  • Facilitate training sessions and change management efforts to embed continuous improvement culture across the organization

What We’re Looking For:

  • Experience or strong interest in continuous improvement, process optimization, or supply chain efficiency (certifications like Six Sigma Green Belt a plus)
  • Analytical mindset with proficiency in data analysis tools and methodologies
  • Familiarity with tools like Excel/Google Sheets, Tableau, SQL, or process mapping software (e.g., Visio, Lucidchart)
  • Self-starter who excels in problem-solving, project management, and thriving in fast-paced, innovative environments
  • Bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering, operations management, business, or related field; 2+ years of relevant experience preferred

Why Warp?
