- Conduct in-depth analysis by seller, industry, carrier, region and parcel journey to distinguish seller-side, carrier-side and system-related performance issues.
- Collaborate with Seller Operations, Experience and logistics providers to resolve operational issues and drive measurable improvements in delivery speed, reliability and customer experience.
- Data-driven Operational Analysis & Continuous Improvement
- Proactively identify critical operational issues through data monitoring, deep-dive analysis and root-cause investigation, rather than relying solely on reactive issue escalation.

- Translate data insights into clear operational priorities, actionable improvement strategies and measurable execution plans, with defined ownership and timelines.
- Develop early-warning mechanisms and performance monitoring dashboards to detect emerging operational risks and prevent service deterioration.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives with carriers, sellers and internal stakeholders, tracking implementation progress and validating business impact.
- Continuously optimise platform logistics performance across delivery speed, customer experience, service quality and operational efficiency.
- New Logistics Models & Operational Implementation
- Work closely with Procurement, Logistics Solutions, Experience, Product and other cross-functional teams to design, launch and scale new logistics operating models and service capabilities.
- Support the implementation and operational management of van-based collection/delivery services, new pickup models and other customised logistics solutions.
- Lead operational readiness assessments, carrier onboarding, SOP development, capacity planning, pilot execution and performance monitoring for new logistics models.
- Evaluate new operating models based on service capability, operational feasibility, cost efficiency, scalability and seller/customer experience.
- Coordinate with logistics providers and sellers to ensure smooth implementation, operational stability and continuous optimisation after launch.
