• Ensure orders are packed and handed to couriers within platform shipping deadlines to avoid marketplace penalties.
• Manage the performance of couriers, 3PL partners, and packaging and equipment suppliers against agreed SLAs.
• Conduct vendor performance reviews, escalate breaches and disputes, verify billing against actual volumes, and provide data-backed input on contract renewals.
• Define warehouse requirements for WMS and OMS, participate in user acceptance testing, lead floor adoption, and maintain manual-workaround procedures for system outages.
• Drive improvements to warehouse layout, slotting, pick paths, packing stations, and overall productivity while providing feedback on in-house technology solutions.
• Lead operational readiness for mega-sale events such as 11.11 and 12.12, covering manpower, space, materials, dry runs, and contingency plans.
• Confirm fulfilment capacity and flag constraints to the Supply Chain Lead before launch commitments.
• Ensure compliance with Philippine occupational safety and health standards, fire safety requirements, warehouse permits, labour standards, and the Data Privacy Act.
• Establish, monitor, and report on operational KPIs including order cycle time, on-time dispatch, pick and pack accuracy, inventory accuracy, return processing time, productivity, cost per order, and safety incidents.
• Align shared end-to-end performance metrics with the Supply Chain Lead.
