Global Partner Desk

The Global Partner Desk plays a critical role in Wayfair’s supplier ecosystem, serving as the frontline partner for suppliers navigating our platform, tools, and commercial processes. We operate at the center of Wayfair’s marketplace, bridging suppliers, internal stakeholders, and technology to ensure issues are resolved efficiently and at scale. Our mission is to simplify complex workflows, drive self-service where possible, and route partners to the right experts when deeper support is needed - ultimately enabling suppliers to grow with Wayfair.


As an Associate on the Desk, you will operate at the core of e-commerce, managing a portfolio of supplier interactions while influencing broader operational strategy. In this role, you will lead initiatives that improve supplier experience, partner cross-functionally to drive process improvements, and contribute to scaling support through automation and smart routing. You’ll be responsible for analyzing performance metrics, identifying opportunities for optimization, and executing tactical plans that deliver measurable impact. This role combines hands-on problem solving with strategic ownership, offering exposure to how decisions across technology, operations, and commercial teams shape the supplier journey.

Service Employee Enablement Associate

We are looking for a Service Employee Enablement Associate with 1–3 years of experience in project, program or change management to join our Global Change Management team. This role is perfect for a detail-oriented communicator to bridge the gap between strategy and execution. Critical components of this role include a high-level professionalism, impeccable organization and excellent communication to ensure operational standards are met worldwide.

Supply Chain Solutions

We optimize Wayfair's supply chain through innovative solutions, enabling strategic business outcomes and a seamless supplier and customer experience. We are the driving force in transforming Wayfair's supply chain into an industry-leading model of efficiency, agility, and customer-centricity. This team focuses on large, strategic initiatives that cross many tech and ops verticals (Storefront, Supply Chain and Retail Tech, Global Supplier Technology) to define the end-to-end solutions.

We're looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic Operations Associate to join our team and help scale the world-class Manhattan WMS solution across our Fulfillment network. This role is a fantastic opportunity for someone passionate about product management and eager to make a direct impact on our supply chain operations.

This will require you to travel to various Fulfillment Center locations across the U.S. and potentially the UK and Canada. This will equate to traveling 50% of the time. Within this role you will be expected to travel to Boston at a minimum of quarterly for Supply Chain Solution all-hands events and to work with engineering.

Service

As a Service Enablement Associate, you'll be at the heart of our Global Services team, turning raw data into clear, actionable insights that directly influence how we operate and grow. This is a hands-on role perfect for a data-driven problem-solver who wants to make a measurable impact.

You will own and elevate the end-to-end journey for our specialized customer segments. In this role, you will be the architect of a seamless transition experience, ensuring that when customers have complex needs, such as coordinating large-parcel furniture deliveries or technical rescheduling, they are met with expert precision rather than "ping-ponged" between departments.

You will bridge the gap between our frontline associates and our specialized task forces, transforming tedious manual workflows into elegant, automated, or optimized roadmaps. If you are an Excel power user who views data as a story and looks for ways to leverage AI to solve human problems, we want you on our team.
