Key Accountability Areas

BI, Data Visualization & AI-based Automations

• Design, build, and maintain scalable dashboards and automated reporting pipelines covering fleet performance, delivery speed, order stacking, cost per delivery, and rider utilization
• Own the end-to-end data lifecycle: from raw data extraction (SQL, BigQuery) through to business-ready visualizations (Tableau, Looker, Data Studio)
• Automate recurring logistics reports to reduce manual data pulling and free leadership time for decision-making
• Develop predictive models and forecasting tools for demand planning, supply crunch detection, and staffing efficiency
• Translate complex, large-scale datasets into clear, actionable recommendations for logistics and operations stakeholders

Logistics Optimization and Utilization

• Reduce delivery time across all stages: from order dispatch through to delivery, by identifying bottlenecks across the multiple DT sub-metrics
• Collaborate with dispatching and algorithm teams to enhance order assignment logic and improve on-time delivery rates
• Monitor and improve order stacking efficiency without compromising delivery SLAs
• Track NPS and customer experience metrics tied to logistics performance, identifying drivers of dissatisfaction
• Own analysis of logistics failures across vendor operations, rider operations, and customer touchpoints; recommend and execute fixes
• Collaborate with workforce planning to optimise shift models, staffing levels, and on-demand-to-shift model transitions
• Identify demand patterns and partner with growth and marketing teams to improve forecasting accuracy
• Support rider hiring, onboarding, and payment process analysis to reduce attrition and improve supply reliability

Product Operations - Local & Global Rollouts

• Gather operational pain points, feature requests, and platform feedback; translate these into structured business cases for product prioritisation
• Lead go-to-market (GTM) execution for new logistics initiatives: coordinating timelines, stakeholders, training materials, and deployment playbooks.
• Support rollout and adoption of tools, ensuring operational readiness and post-launch performance tracking
• Track rollout KPIs, adoption rates, and feedback loops, and present findings to product and logistics leadership

Logistics Issue Resolution & Stakeholder Support

• Serve as the first escalation point for logistics issues: diagnosing root causes, mobilizing fixes, and communicating resolution timelines.
• Manage performance during high-demand periods, including holidays, national days, and weekends, with proactive monitoring frameworks.
• Coordinate with central/regional logistics and product teams (e.g. Delivery Hero central) to implement platform-wide improvements locally.
