- Capacity & Planning: Partner with Planning and Network Design teams to forecast volume, manage labor capacity, and ensure operational readiness for peak events and network expansion
- Continuous Improvement: Identify and eliminate defects through root cause analysis; implement standardized mechanisms (Gemba walks, audits, daily/weekly business reviews) to raise the performance bar across all nodes
- Stakeholder Management: Collaborate cross-functionally with Transportation, Last Mile, PXT, and Finance teams to resolve constraints, align on priorities, and deliver business outcomes
- Cost Management: Own P&L accountability for the region; drive labor efficiency, reduce cost per package, and identify opportunities for operational savings without compromising speed or quality
