• Data Analysis & Reporting: Conduct deep-dive analyses on carrier rate cards, transit times, and inventory accuracy to identify cost-saving and performance improvement initiatives. Prepare and present compelling, data-driven insights to senior leadership in monthly business reviews.
• Operational Excellence: Serve as a key point of contact for operational challenges and escalations. Collaborate closely with our Customer Experience teams to resolve issues and identify root causes to improve the overall customer journey.

• Proven experience leading, coaching, and developing a team.
