• Track & report: returns/refunds volume and reasons, number of resend orders (warehouse error), negative-rating recovery rate/time, and highlight top drivers and corrective actions.
• Lead a monthly cross-functional Order Issues Review with Warehouse & Fulfilment and your direct superior to align on top drivers (returns/refunds, resend orders due to warehouse errors, courier SLAs), agree corrective actions, and track outcomes to closure.
• Coordinate with Marketing on promo mechanics and post-campaign recovery.
• Coordinate with Ops/Warehouse on packaging improvements, order accuracy, and courier performance.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
