Engage with internal and external stakeholders.
Present findings and recommendations to management.
Support project delivery and change initiatives.

What We're Looking For:

Essential

Experience within transport, logistics or supply chain operations.
Hands-on experience with a Transport Management System (TMS).
Advanced Excel and Power BI skills.
Strong analytical and problem-solving capability.
Experience developing operational KPIs and performance reporting.
Process improvement and continuous improvement experience.
Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
Ability to translate data into operational action.

Highly Desirable

SAP S/4HANA experience.
