Manage and enhance customer service models, ensuring timely and cost-effective order fulfillment.
Drive innovation in warehouse and distribution operations, finding smart, data-driven solutions to improve productivity.
Oversee distribution cost modeling, scenario planning, and financial risk analysis.
Collaborate with senior leadership and external stakeholders to implement best practices in logistics and distribution.
Manage and develop a team of analysts, leveraging insights to drive strategic improvements.
Ensure compliance with industry regulations, financial policies, and operational best practices.

Minimum Qualifications & Experience:

Bachelor’s Degree in Finance, Actuarial Science, Supply Chain Management, Logistics, or a related field.
10-15 years of experience in warehouse distribution, network design, and supply chain optimization.
Strong financial and actuarial background, with experience in cost modeling and forecasting.
Minimum of 5 years in a senior managerial role, leading strategic warehouse or supply chain initiatives.
Proven expertise in network design, warehouse systems, and distribution optimization.
Experience with modern warehouse technologies, automation, and ERP systems.
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and leadership skills, with the ability to influence executive decision-making.
A results-driven mindset, with the ambition to grow into an EXCO-level role.
