• Build and maintain logistics KPI views covering warehouse performance, freight analytics, productivity, and operational health, with clear exception signals and root-cause paths

• Develop “control tower”-style analytics that enable early warning indicators (delays, backlog risk, capacity risk, throughput constraints).

• Drive automation and advanced analytics using Python, SQL, and BI tools to scale insight generation and reduce manual reporting effort.

• Create and maintain models for logistics use cases such as:

  • Throughput and productivity forecasting

  • Transportation analytics

  • Operational scenario planning / simulations aligned with the digital roadmap direction (e.g., scenario planning, “digital twins”)

• Drive continuous improvement in data quality, definitions, and metric reliability to ensure consistent decision making across regions/sites.

• Partner with supply chain & logistics SMEs and digital stakeholders to align analytics with standards, governance, and process maturity efforts

• Drive continuous improvement in supply and inventory analytics, data quality, and model reliability

• Drive automation and advanced analytics, leveraging Python, SQL, and BI tools to scale insights

• Partner with Supply Chain & Logistics to align analytics with standards, governance, and process maturity efforts
