 Embed S&OP and IBP frameworks using advanced analytics to optimise inventory levels and define precise safety stock parameters
 Drive operational excellence by applying Lean and Six Sigma methodologies to eliminate waste across warehouse and transport networks via robust "as-is" diagnostics
 Act as functional lead for systems deployment, overseeing the selection and architecture of WMS, TMS, and ERP solutions, including emerging Digital Twin technologies
 Manage comprehensive procurement tenders for transport and warehousing, encompassing 3PL selection, contract negotiation, and the definition of global SLAs and governance
 Champion practitioner-led thought leadership by maintaining the "Best Practice Toolkit" and producing white papers and case studies to upskill the consultancy team
 Identify unmet client needs and lead the technical design of high-value proposals and RFIs, ensuring a focus on sustainable logistics and market-leading innovation
 Direct senior stakeholder engagement by translating complex data into board-ready business cases, ensuring project ROI and the growth of long-term strategic partnerships
