  • Identify and resolve outbound-related issues and conduct root cause analysis

  • Increase transparency and monitoring capabilities across the logistics network and ensure alignment with operational departments

  • Define, optimise and implement efficient supply chain processes in close collaboration with relevant stakeholders

  • Collaborate closely with inbound-related teams such as replenishment, transportation and fulfilment

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Logistics, Analytics or a related field

  • 3+ years of relevant experience in logistics or e-commerce as an Analyst or in a similar role

  • Proven experience in creating SQL queries and writing Python scripts

  • Solid knowledge of supply chain processes
