• Develop and continuously improve SOPs, escalation frameworks, contingency procedures and operational controls
• Own execution-heavy workstreams such as operator review preparation, incident follow-up, action tracking, retailer issue consolidation, meeting coordination and minutes, and tracking of open risks and actions
• Perform other duties as reasonably assigned in support of the successful implementation and operation of the BCRS

Requirements

• Degree in Business, Supply Chain/Logistics, Engineering or a related field
