Hello everyone! Throughout my career so far I’ve had the pleasure of holding operations / project management roles in a few different industries. I’m familiar with the retail end of supply chain operations and inventory management from my time as a co-manager at a big box retailer. Our store did ~119,000,000 USD in annual sales of combined general merchandise and grocery items if that gives any perspective. We were a big busy store!
I’ve also spent time in inside sales and customer service for a sustainable greeting card and custom gift item manufacturer. I know the joys and pains of the customer feed back cycle as it ties in to manufacturing operations.
Currently, I’m an IT Project Manager, leading a team of developers building software to help dairy farmers raise happier and healthier holstein cows. We use agile development as best we can in a very old school business environment. As part of a small team, my role also includes a lot of requirements analysis, some UI design, and a healthy dose of stakeholder management.
I love the principles behind EA and really welcome this post! I’ve read through much of the website and other than waiting for the right operations role to appear on the job board, I’m struggling to figure out how I can contribute and fit into the community.
Hi Aaron, Thank you so much for the suggestions.
I’ve joined the Facebook groups and will keep an eye out for opportunities as I get up the gumption to introduce myself.
The more I learn more about EA and get the lay of the land I’m confident that I’ll find a way to contribute.
