• Coordinate special delivery arrangements and resolve delivery exceptions, delays, or other operational issues by working closely with carriers and internal teams.
• Respond to delivery, returns, and replacement enquiries - including escalations from the Customer Experience team and direct customer outreach - communicating professionally via phone, email, and ticketing systems.
• Manage the returns transportation process, including scheduling carrier pickups, tracking return shipments, and confirming warehouse receipt with the warehouse and inventory teams.
• Monitor and follow up on operational issues and recurring exceptions, identifying root causes and supporting corrective actions.
• Support logistics partner coordination and performance management.
• Analyze operational data and reports to identify gaps, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement.
• Maintain accurate operational records across outbound and returns workflows, ensuring system updates are completed in a timely manner.
• Monitor and resolve weekend tickets promptly so no backlog carries over into the following week.
• Support continuous improvement projects and other operational tasks as assigned.

• Advanced Excel and data analysis skills for operations reporting.
• Comfortable working with operational systems and data, with exposure to systems such as WMS, TMS, or ERP being an advantage.
