• Act as the escalation point for high-impact delivery issues, or operational disruptions.


• Build and maintain strategic relationships with third-party logistics partners, courier services, and delivery agents; onboard, manage, and evaluate 3PL contractors and ensure compliance with agreed service standards.

• Coordinate closely with internal teams — First Mile, Warehouse Operations, Transport Management, 3PL, IT/Systems, Finance, Performance, Loss Management, and Customer Service — to ensure seamless operations.


• Develop and manage the door delivery operational budget, ensuring optimal resource allocation and cost efficiency; analyze delivery cost per package and implement strategies to reduce expenses without compromising service quality.


• Utilize data analytics to detect trends, identify bottlenecks, and drive informed decision-making; design and maintain dashboards, scorecards, and regular performance reports for leadership review.


• Champion the adoption of digital tools, including real-time dashboards and mobile applications for delivery associates, to improve accuracy, speed, and customer satisfaction.


• Lead customer experience initiatives, including delivery time slot management, real-time tracking, and proactive customer communication.


• Participate in medium- and long-term planning for delivery network expansion, capacity planning, and resource allocation; forecast demand and capacity needs considering seasonality and surge/peak periods.


• Handle escalations and resolve complex delivery issues affecting customer satisfaction.


• Prepare and present operational reports, insights, and recommendations to senior management.
