About Fulfillment IQ (FIQ):

Fulfillment IQ is a supply chain engineering and transformation company that helps brands, retailers, and 3PLs design, build, and scale high-performance logistics operations.

We work at the intersection of strategy, operations, and technology where we solve complex, real-world problems across warehouse design, automation, order management, transportation, and end-to-end supply chain execution.

Our teams combine deep domain expertise with strong technical capability, delivering outcomes through consulting, systems implementation, and proprietary platforms that accelerate time-to-value and reduce delivery risk.

If you enjoy working in complex environments, partnering closely with clients, and seeing your work make a tangible impact on how global commerce moves, this is the place where your skills and judgment truly come to life.

Role Overview:

We are seeking an experienced Data Modeler to design and implement the data models powering a multi- site warehouse intelligence platform on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The ideal candidate will have a strong background in data modeling, dimensional modeling, and a deep understanding of the supply chain and logistics domains. The role requires a hands-on approach, with a focus on designing data

models that bridge multiple warehouse management systems, data lake house architectures, and real- time operational data stores.

Must Have:

• 6+ years of experience in data modeling roles, including logical, physical, dimensional, and domain modeling
• 3+ years of experience with Snowflake, including data engineering, data modeling, and data warehousing
• Supply chain/logistics/warehousing domain knowledge, including warehouse data: inventory lifecycle, order management, WMS transactions, shipping/receiving, labor tracking
• SQL expertise, including advanced query design, performance tuning, and complex joins across large datasets
• Dimensional modeling (Kimball methodology) for analytics/reporting warehouses
• Experience with modern data lake house architecture
• Cloud data platforms: GCP (BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Cloud Spanner) or equivalent AWS/Azure experience with willingness to work in GCP
• CDC/event-driven data modeling expertise, including designing schemas for change data capture pipelines and streaming data
• Strong understanding of data governance, data quality, and data lineage

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with Blue Yonder (JDA/RedPrairie) WMS data structures and Oracle transactional schemas
• Hands-on experience with Apache Iceberg table design (partitioning, sort orders, schema evolution, Polaris catalog)
• MDM (Master Data Management) modeling experience, including hierarchical entity governance (org/site/system/region)
• Experience designing JSON/semi-structured data models and configurable transformation schemas
• Prior work in multi-tenant or multi-site data architectures (normalizing data across large-scale operational deployments with different configurations)
• Familiarity with ML feature engineering and feature store design patterns
• Knowledge of data catalog and metadata management tools

Nice-to-Have Qualifications:

• Experience with Google Cloud Spanner data modeling (wide-column/relational hybrid)
• Understanding of GenAI/RAG data requirements (how LLMs consume structured operational data)
• Exposure to Oracle GoldenGate or FiveTran CDC source schemas
• Experience with Erwin, dbt, or similar data modeling/transformation tools

Key Responsibilities:

• Design the canonical data model that normalizes data from multiple WMS systems (i.e., Blue Yonder, Manhattan) into a unified domain layer
• Model core warehouse entities, including inventory transactions, orders, shipments, ASNs, locations, SKUs, wave management, dock operations, labor events, and returns/RMA
• Define Master Data Management (MDM) data models, including client, site, system, division, region hierarchies with governance rules
• Design table schemas, including partitioning strategies, sort orders, schema evolution plans, and compaction policies
• Create the bronze/silver/gold data layer architecture, including raw CDC events from WMS, cleansed and deduplicated domain tables, and aggregated business-ready datasets for reporting and ML Models
• Optimize table designs for analytics queries (BigQuery) and streaming updates Build dimensional models (star/snowflake schemas) for embedded analytics and reporting, including warehouse operations, client-facing dashboards, and financial reporting
• Design reporting models to replace a legacy Oracle-based analytics platform across a large multi-site deployment
• Work with the BI team on Polaris catalog metadata standards and data dictionary
• Design data schemas for the near real-time operational data layer, including inventory position, scan and validate events, exception/error state tracking, and wave progress and dock utilization
• Model the data structures that feed GenAI operational assistants
• Design event schemas for Kafka topics (CDC events, operational events, alert events)
• Design the data models that feed Warehouse AI modules, including forecasting models, slotting/replenishment models, and pick optimization models
• Define the feature store schema for ML model training and inference pipelines
• Ensure ML data models align with the 5-minute Iceberg refresh cadence and real-time streaming layer

What Success Looks Like in the First 90 Days:

30 Days

·       Understand existing WMS data sources, GCP/Snowflake architecture, and current data flows.

·       Align with architecture and engineering teams; document core warehouse domains.

·       Identify data quality gaps and normalization challenges.

60 Days

·       Deliver first draft of the canonical data model and bronze/silver schemas.

·       Begin implementing models in Snowflake/BigQuery/Iceberg.

·       Define initial MDM structures and dimensional models for key analytics use cases.

·       Draft Kafka event schemas and establish metadata documentation.

90 Days

·       Deliver production-ready canonical model for at least one WMS and site.

·       Finalize end‑to‑end bronze → silver → gold architecture with optimized performance.

·       Publish full data dictionary and lineage.

·       Deploy dimensional models for reporting and ML/AI data structures.

·       Improve data quality and consistency across multi‑site ingestion.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):

·       Canonical Model Completion & Adoption across sites/WMS sources.

·       Data Quality Improvements (dedupe, consistency, completeness).

·       Dimensional Model Delivery for analytics and reporting.

·       Pipeline Readiness across bronze/silver/gold layers.

·       MDM Model Implementation across clients/sites.

·       Documentation & Metadata Accuracy (data dictionary, lineage).

·       Query Performance Optimization in Snowflake/BigQuery.

·       Enablement of ML/AI & Feature Store Pipelines.
