• Partner with WW Flex / Last Mile teams to understand common challenges to adopt standard practice and identify opportunities to collaborate with tech teams to build automated tooling and solutions to hand off our processes.
• Support the expansion of the Last Mile Speed program across EU through extension of existing processes, and creation of new ones where applicable.
