Purpose
IDEMIA Secure Transactions is seeking a Manager, Lean Supply Chain & Warehouse Operations to drive the transformation of our logistics performance across multiple sites.
We are looking for a leader with a strong “builder” mindset — someone who has operated in high-volume, fast-paced environments (e.g., Amazon, leading 3PLs, automated warehouses) and knows how to translate that experience into a secure, industrial context.
This role combines network-level ownership with hands-on execution: you will design Lean systems, drive standards, and work directly on-site to deliver measurable results.
Key Missions
- Own and drive warehouse performance across sites (throughput, cost per unit, productivity, SLA, inventory accuracy)
- Design, standardize, and roll out Lean strategy focused on optimizing the flow of materials, information and resources including : daily management systems (tier meetings, visual boards), standard work and operating procedures, performance routines and escalation processes, problem-solving frameworks (root cause, Kaizen)
- Lead on-site transformations (layout redesign, flow optimization, labor productivity, slotting, pick/pack efficiency)
- Build and institutionalize performance management systems (real-time KPIs, dashboards, governance cadence)
- Drive scalability and peak readiness (volume ramp-ups, staffing models, capacity planning)
- Lead deployment of Industry 4.0 solutions: WMS optimization, scanning & tracking systems, warehouse automation (conveyors, sortation, AGVs where relevant), data-driven decision tools
- Support warehouse retrofits and operational upgrades
- Develop and coach site teams to embed a culture of accountability and continuous improvement
- Benchmark against best-in-class operators (Amazon, top-tier 3PLs) and continuously raise the bar
What Success Looks Like
• Fully deployed and adopted Lean supply chain system across all sites
• Significant gains in throughput, labor productivity, and cost per unit
• Robust, real-time performance visibility and management routines
• Tangible ROI from automation and digital initiatives
• Strong operational discipline and ownership mindset at site level
Profile & Other Information
- 5-10 years in warehouse operations / logistics, including time in high-performance environments (Amazon, major 3PLs, e-commerce, automation-heavy operations)
- Proven track record of designing and rolling out Lean systems in logistics environments
- Engineering background required (industrial, mechanical, supply chain, or equivalent), with strong analytical and data-driven mindset
- Strong expertise in Lean, process optimization, and labor productivity
- Experience with WMS, warehouse technologies, and automation systems
- Ability to operate both:
- hands-on on-site
- and at network / standard-setting level
- Strong influencing skills and ability to drive change across sites
- Data-driven, pragmatic, and execution-focused
