Key responsibilities:

  • Design, standardise, and codify processes, products, and tools that will power our future fulfilment network
  • Define operating models that can scale globally, balancing efficiency, cost, speed, and customer experience
  • Own initiatives end-to-end, from diagnosing problems, designing solutions, building prototypes, and driving implementation
  • Develop tooling, dashboards, and models directly, leveraging SQL, Python, BI platforms, and workflow automation
  • Use data to uncover bottlenecks, quantify opportunities, and make recommendations that drive cost savings and unlock new service capabilities
  • Build forecasting and scenario planning models to guide long-term network design and capacity planning

  • A proven record of designing and implementing scalable processes/products that delivered measurable business impact
  • Strong strategic thinking, with the ability to connect day-to-day execution to P&L drivers and long-term vision
  • Entrepreneurial mindset: thrives in ambiguity, comfortable building from scratch, and naturally biased toward action
  • Executive-level communication skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders across all levels of the organisation

Why this role is different:

This role is one of the most independent, entrepreneurial, and impactful within Flexport Fulfilment. You will design and build the future of how we fulfil, scale, and serve customers.
