Key job responsibilities
- Manage and prioritize program life-cycles for 3P carrier partnerships, often complex and cross-functional, delivering projects that directly impact the customer experience and business metrics in AMXL
- Drive performance improvements with carrier partners by conducting business reviews, analyzing data trends, and developing action plans to address key metrics such as concessions, delivery performance, and customer satisfaction
- Collaborate tactically/strategically with internal teams and external carriers to develop and implement process improvements that optimize the heavy bulky delivery network across EU
- Apply relevant tools and mechanisms to drive and measure progress, creating strategic initiatives that address both immediate operational challenges and long-term business objectives

A day in the life
Your day might begin with running a weekly business review, analyzing performance metrics and identifying trends across your carrier network. By mid-day, you could be facilitating a workshop with a carrier to deep dive into opportunities for reducing concessions or improving delivery performance. In the afternoon, you might analyze a carrier's network structure to propose improvements to truck dispatch times, or root cause an operational issue that requires immediate attention. Throughout the week, you'll balance tactical execution with strategic planning, working on EU-wide projects where you serve as the subject matter expert to drive meaningful improvements across multiple markets.
