• Technology & Self-Service BI Collaboration: Partner with IT and Technology teams to develop self-service BI platforms, streamline ETL/data extraction routines, and elevate analytical maturity across logistics teams.

3. Cost Efficiency Program & Performance Monitoring

• End-to-End Cost Analysis: Lead comprehensive cost-to-serve and efficiency programs identifying savings in warehousing (storage, handling, fixed/variable cost allocation), transportation modes, and LSP (Logistics Service Provider) rate structures.
• Operational SLA & KPI Correlation: Monitor regional operational performance, correlating key operational metrics (lead times, on-time delivery, fill rates, warehouse productivity) with financial cost drivers and SLA compliance.
• Root Cause & Scenario Modeling: Build simulation and scenario-modeling tools to evaluate trade-offs between logistics cost, inventory velocity, and customer service levels.

4. Process Innovation & Regional Governance

• Process Standardization & Optimization: Identify operational bottlenecks and redesign regional standard operating procedures (SOPs) for inbound/outbound flows, customs, and inventory management.
• Scalable Framework Implementation: Replace ad-hoc manual tasks with robust, scalable digital workflows and automated governance mechanisms across all operational hubs.

5. Cross-Functional Leadership & Stakeholder Management

• Regional Stakeholder Alignment: Serve as the key intelligence liaison between Regional HQ, Subsidiary Logistics Operations, Sales Divisions (B2B / D2C), SCM, Finance, Procurement, and IT.
• Executive Presentations & Decision Support: Synthesize complex data into high-impact executive summaries, dashboards, and strategic presentations for regional and global senior leadership.
