• Market Adaptability: Experience implementing operational models across multiple countries, considering regional variations in fulfilment, logistics, and compliance.
• Analytical & Data-Driven Mindset: Comfortable using data to inform decision-making, track performance, and identify areas for improvement.
• Technology-Savvy: Familiarity with eCommerce platforms, fulfilment technology, and ERP/WMS systems is highly desirable.

Who You Are

• Strategic thinker with a hands-on approach to execution.
• Strong negotiator and relationship builder with internal and external stakeholders.
