As an employee-owned distributor of natural and organic, specialty, and fresh products, we’re committed to making a positive impact and scaling our success together. With a culture that fosters development and opportunity, you’ll be embarking on a career that’s moving forward. When you join KeHE, you’re becoming part of a team that is a force for good. Primary Responsibilities The Senior Replenishment Process Owner leads the enterprise replenishment and letdown process across the distribution network, establishing the standards, metrics, and best practices for consistent execution. Partnering cross-functionally with DC Operations, Capacity, Slotting, Inventory Control, Engineering, Transportation, and IT, this role uses data and process analysis to design scalable solutions that support efficient warehouse operations, inventory availability, and customer service. The role owns the replenishment framework and performance expectations — not day-to-day execution, which remains with DC leadership. Through enterprise process ownership, performance management, and continuous improvement, this role ensures KeHE’s replenishment practices remain aligned with operational goals, inventory strategy, and customer service expectations. As with all positions at KeHE Distributors, we expect that all actions will be consistent with KeHE’s Mission, Vision, and Values. Essential Functions DUTIES, TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES: Standards and Process Design Own and continuously evolve KeHE’s enterprise replenishment and letdown operating model, including network standards, processes, methodologies, and standard work.

Define the operating interface between replenishment and wave planning, order cutoff times, and dispatch sequencing so that letdown priority remains aligned with pick and dispatch urgency. Define, jointly with Inventory Control, the pick-slot inventory accuracy inputs that replenishment depends on, including walkoff cycle counting, and establish accountability for each. Performance Management and Analytics Develop and own the enterprise replenishment KPI framework, building on existing measures such as On-Time Letdown %, Walkoff %, and Pick Short $, and extending it to productivity, availability, responsiveness, inventory flow, and service impact. Establish performance expectations and reporting that enable DC leadership to manage replenishment execution day to day. Analyze replenishment performance across the network to identify trends, root causes, and systemic issues, distinguishing DC execution gaps from enterprise process or system defects. Develop analytical tools and reporting that support replenishment decisions and root-cause analysis. Systems and Technology Own the enterprise replenishment configuration within NTS, including replenishment logic, sequencing rules, system parameters, and the change governance around them. Partner with IT as the build and support owner. Evaluate WMS functionality and emerging technology for opportunities to improve replenishment effectiveness, and define the business requirements for enhancements. Deployment and Adoption Identify high-performing replenishment practices within the network and lead their adoption enterprise-wide. Lead continuous improvement initiatives that improve replenishme…
