ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Store Operations is building a strategic programs team to lead the transformation of store fulfillment. The Process & Insights Engineer plays a critical role in enabling both near-term performance and long-term transformation by owning ambiguous problem statements, integrating data with site-visits and hands-on learning, and diagnosing operational root causes to shape the path forward with both near-term and long-term deliverables. This role operates at the intersection of operations, analytics, and systems, partnering with program managers, product, tech and store ops field teams to identify risks, diagnose root causes, size opportunities, and measure impact. The analyst helps ensure that both daily performance management and multi-year transformation efforts are grounded in operational truth and measurable outcomes.
This role reports to the Sr Mgr Program Mgmt. and serves as a shared process & analytical partner across fulfillment program areas, ensuring insights flow from day-to-day execution into roadmap and capability decisions and enablement.
A day in the life…
-
Operations Performance Insights & Automation: Use scalable data tools to support analysis tied to building new capabilities, pilot tracking, and performance issues to support program objectives, leveraging automation where possible to improve speed and access to information. Translate findings into clear decision points, tradeoffs, and recommended actions for program and ops leaders. Support scaled events readiness and execution through proactive risk id and scenario analysis.
-
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with Product, Technology, Supply Chain, Transportation, Inventory, and Store Operations partners to align insights with operational realities. Devote regular time on-site in stores to build credibility with both technical and non-technical partners and demonstrate a deep understanding of store operations, systems, and fulfillment workflows.
-
Hands-On Problem Solving: Apply various methods (A3, Gemba Walks, process mapping, etc.) to connect data to real-world situations and process flows in fulfillment operations. Leverage problem solving techniques to connect data to workflows and inform decisions that will address root causes and improve program performance.
-
Change Management: Support the change journey, engaging and equipping frontline teams and leaders with the tools and training for successful adoption. Develop and maintain standard work, job aids, and process documentation as part of pilot, testing, training, and adoption.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
You own this if you have…
-
5-10 years of Industrial Engineering or Manufacturing Engineering experience; with 3-5 years in omnichannel retail operations, store operations, supply chain, last-mile, or a related environment preferred.
-
Bachelors’ degree in Industrial and System Engineering, Masters in Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain, or equivalent preferred.
-
Experience owning and diagnosing complex operational problems by examining end-to-end flow, capacity, bottlenecks, and failure modes. Demonstrated application of structured problem-solving techniques (e.g., A3, process mapping, 5 Whys) to connect data to real-world workflows, identify root causes, and recommend actions that improve performance and reduce variability.
-
A working understanding of order management, store inventory movement + accuracy, routing, and fulfillment workflows, even if you are not the system owner. Must be comfortable learning by going on-site, observing workflows, and pressure testing data against reality.
-
Tools used to support operational problem solving: proficiency in Excel; experience with BI or analytics tools (Power BI, Tableau, Looker, or similar) and automation programs such as Python & SQL is a plus. Hands-on experience supporting real operational decisions with the ability to size tradeoffs, risks, and constraints matters more than depth of knowledge in a single platform or system.
-
Experience working with messy real-world operational data where orders move across multiple systems and execution relies on both system logic and manual processes. You can trace issues end-to-end, identify where breakdowns occur, and clearly explain what’s happening, why it matters, and what to do next.
-
Ability to collaborate with Product, Technology, UX, and Business partners to solve impactful problems across multiple initiatives, with an understanding of AI-driven solutions. You know how to adapt the same insight for different audiences and are comfortable using visuals, plain language, and executive-level synthesis depending on the audience and context.
-
The ability to stay structured in a fast-paced retail environment, remaining organized and analytical through peak periods, high-visibility escalations, and rapidly shifting priorities. You can balance speed with accuracy and communicate clearly when decisions need to be made quickly, while clearly stating assumptions or limitations.
-
A bias for action and continuous improvement by looking for opportunities to simplify processes, improve reporting, and apply automation or AI-assisted tools where they deliver real value.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Procurement Jobs at Nordstrom Jobs
Align your credentials to retail sourcing
Nordstrom's Procurement roles emphasize vendor negotiation, inventory planning, and retail supply chain experience. Before applying, reframe your resume to highlight category management, supplier contracts, or merchandise cost reduction rather than general purchasing experience.
Target roles requiring specialized category expertise
Nordstrom fills Procurement positions across fashion, beauty, and technology categories. Roles tied to a specific merchandise category are more defensible under H-1B specialty occupation requirements because the degree-to-role connection is direct and harder to dispute.
Use Migrate Mate to filter verified sponsorship-friendly openings
Search Migrate Mate to identify active Nordstrom Procurement listings that have a confirmed sponsorship history. This saves time you'd otherwise spend applying to roles where sponsorship is unclear or handled case by case.
Understand how TN status applies to your background
Canadian and Mexican nationals with degrees in fields like management consulting or engineering may qualify for TN status in a Procurement role. TN approval happens at the port of entry, so prepare a concise employer support letter and degree documentation before your start date.
Clarify sponsorship intent early in recruiter conversations
Nordstrom's recruiters handle high application volume. Ask directly whether the specific Procurement role is approved for H-1B or PERM sponsorship before advancing to panel interviews. This avoids spending weeks in a process that stalls at the offer stage.

Find Procurement at Nordstrom JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Nordstrom sponsor H-1B visas for Procurement roles?
Yes, Nordstrom sponsors H-1B visas for Procurement positions, particularly where the role requires a specific degree in supply chain management, business, finance, or a related field. Eligibility depends on the individual role meeting USCIS specialty occupation standards. Not every Procurement posting will qualify, so confirming sponsorship intent with the recruiter before advancing in the process is the practical first step.
How do I apply for Procurement jobs at Nordstrom?
Applications go through Nordstrom's careers portal, where Procurement roles are listed under supply chain, operations, or merchandising functions. Migrate Mate aggregates Nordstrom's active Procurement openings with sponsorship context in one place, which makes it easier to identify which roles have a history of supporting international candidates before you invest time in a full application.
Which visa types does Nordstrom commonly use for Procurement professionals?
Nordstrom supports several visa categories for Procurement hires, including H-1B for specialty occupation roles, F-1 OPT and CPT for students and recent graduates, TN status for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying occupations, and EB-2 or EB-3 Green Card sponsorship for longer-term employment. The right category depends on your nationality, degree field, and the specific responsibilities of the Procurement role.
What qualifications does Nordstrom expect for sponsored Procurement positions?
Nordstrom generally looks for a bachelor's degree in supply chain management, business administration, finance, or a related discipline. Retail-specific experience with vendor negotiations, purchase order management, or cost analysis carries weight. For H-1B sponsorship in particular, your degree needs a clear connection to the role's duties, so highlighting coursework or projects tied to procurement functions strengthens your application.
How do I manage timing if my OPT expires during Nordstrom's hiring process?
If your F-1 OPT expiration falls during or shortly after Nordstrom's interview and offer timeline, flag this with HR early. If Nordstrom files your H-1B petition before your OPT expires and the cap-gap rule applies, you can continue working through September 30 of that year. USCIS cap-gap protection only applies if your OPT is still valid when the petition is filed, so timing matters significantly.
