Flexport is investing heavily in the next generation of fulfillment—and we’re looking for a Staff Program Manager, Strategic Initiatives who wants to be at the center of that transformation. This is not a traditional program management role. You will be the architect and hands-on builder of tomorrow’s Flexport Fulfillment network: deploying automation, designing processes, building decision tools, and creating the operational standards that define how we scale.
You will own initiatives from whiteboard to go-live—and you will own the business case and ROI that justifies every dollar we invest. That means getting into the weeds on automation system design (ASRS, robotics, goods-to-person), building the financial models to size the opportunity, driving implementation on the floor, and tracking realized returns post-launch. You are accountable for the full lifecycle.
You’ll sit at the intersection of operations, product, engineering, and technology—working across all functions to identify gaps, design solutions, and bring them to life. We want someone who thrives in ambiguity, loves solving highly technical problems, and isn’t afraid to get hands-on—whether that means writing SQL to diagnose a throughput bottleneck, building an ROI model for a $40M automation investment, or standing on the warehouse floor to validate a new workflow before rollout.
If you want to make a lasting impact by building something from the ground up—with full end-to-end ownership and the technical, operational, and strategic chops to back it up—this is the role for you.
