- Work with warehouse and production teams to align dispatches with production readiness.
- Build processes for POD, route adherence and delivery reconciliation.
- Ensure vehicles,
drivers and transport partners meet required compliance standards.
- Support logistics planning for current kitchens, warehouses and cities.
- Identify opportunities to improve fleet utilization, route efficiency and network design.
- Build and maintain logistics dashboards and regularly report performance to supply-chain leadership.
- Own escalations related to missed deliveries, vehicle breakdowns, route disruptions and vendor issues.
What we're looking for
- 6–10 years of experience in logistics, transportation or distribution.
- Experience in QSR, FMCG, retail, e-commerce, last-mile or food delivery is preferred.
- Experience managing 3PL / transport vendors.
- Strong understanding of route planning, fleet management and transportation economics.
- Comfortable working with large operational datasets and building cost models.
- Strong Excel / Google Sheets skills.
- Experience with route-planning or dispatch-management tools.
- Strong stakeholder and vendor-management skills.
- Willingness to spend time on the ground when required.
What will help you succeed
- You enjoy solving operational problems with data.
- You can balance cost, speed and service levels.
- You are comfortable managing vendors and holding them accountable.
- You can handle multiple moving pieces without losing operational discipline.
- You are comfortable building systems and processes from scratch.
