Create comprehensive reports with actionable recommendations based on these findings, serving as a key liaison between the EU Planning and Analytics team and operations business teams. Be prepared to deliver quick, data-driven insights to support time-sensitive decision-making.
• Develop and maintain data queries, visualizations, and models for both regular reporting and ad-hoc requests, often under tight deadlines. This includes gathering and manipulating data from various sources, applying synthesis techniques, and communicating insights effectively to stakeholders at all levels.
• Map and optimize end-to-end business processes across first, middle, and last mile operations, identifying standardization opportunities and areas for improvement. Build strong relationships with internal stakeholders to enhance coordination between local and central planning teams, ensuring seamless integration of processes and driving operational excellence across the network.
• Drive continuous improvement by tracking progress against established goals, identifying cost reduction opportunities, and collaborating with technical and business teams to implement process enhancements.
