In addition to the day-to-day operations of the network, you will be asked to propose, analyse and lead experiments to improve outcomes and occasionally support logistics projects.

You are someone who can simultaneously understand a broad set of logistics problems while having the ability to gain deep expertise on a number of technical areas. You are able to use large data sets to draw conclusions, while at the same time have a bias for taking action and making swift decisions. You are passionately committed to excellence, innately curious, deeply analytical, and operate with attention to detail.
