Role Overview:

We are seeking process-driven professionals with extensive hands-on experience in Retail Operations, Store Management, or Omnichannel Fulfilment. This specialized role supports the development and benchmarking of Large Language Models (LLMs) by designing and validating workflows that directly impact inventory accuracy, fulfilment speed (BOPIS/Ship-from-Store), in-store employee efficiency, and the seamless customer experience across all channels. The specialist will be crucial in recreating complex retail scenarios to validate AI outputs and ensure they enhance operational performance and customer satisfaction.

What does day-to-day look like:

• Accurately map and recreate complex retail operational workflows, covering inventory management, order fulfilment (BOPIS/curbside), POS transactions, associate task management, and communication between the store and corporate/digital teams.
• Rigorously validate AI-generated outputs in operational scenarios, such as automated inventory lookup, store associate task assignments, customer support responses related to order status, and in-store procedural guidance, ensuring efficiency, accuracy, and brand consistency.

• Simulate critical fulfilment and store challenges, including:

In-Store Simulation:

SLA Tracking for Fulfilment:

Compliance Audits:

• Provide detailed, structured annotations and high-quality datasets derived from store operations, inventory logs, and associate interactions to continuously improve LLM training and evaluation for better retail execution and forecasting.

Requirements:

• Proven experience (3+ years) in a hands-on role within Retail Operations, Store Leadership/Management, Visual Merchandising, or Fulfilment/Inventory Management for a multi-channel retailer.
• High familiarity with industry-standard retail systems, including POS (Point-of-Sale) systems, WMS (Warehouse Management Systems), OMS (Order Management Systems), or general task management tools like ServiceNow or Jira used in a retail environment.
• Exceptional attention to detail with a strong understanding of how operational friction impacts the customer journey (e.g., failed BOPIS orders or inaccurate stock levels). Ability to identify AI shortcomings that disrupt seamless omnichannel experiences.
• Conceptual understanding of how operational retail data (e.g., traffic counts, transaction logs, inventory variances) is used for training and evaluating Machine Learning models (LLMs) to drive efficiency and demand planning.
• Excellent written English required for creating precise, training-quality procedural manuals and meticulously validating the clarity and accuracy of AI-generated communications for both customers and store associates.
