• Act as the central liaison between shipping and technology teams, translating operational challenges into system-based solutions.
• Create and manage comprehensive project schedules, aligning milestones with company objectives.
• Monitor progress, identify potential bottlenecks, and proactively implement corrective actions to keep projects on track.
• Facilitate communication between departments to maintain transparency and alignment throughout all project phases.
• Conduct ROI analysis for each project, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
• Serve as the point of escalation for complex issues, coordinating solutions with internal and external stakeholders.
• Document key lessons learned to drive continuous improvement across future logistics and tech-related projects.

Requirements:

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to bridge the gap between operational and technical teams.
• Strong analytical mindset with comfort using digital tools, dashboards, and data systems.
