• Collaborate with finance and business stakeholders to assess value realization, including cost savings, revenue impact from speed improvements, and carrier performance outcomes.
• Monitor KPIs including on-time delivery rates, carrier performance, same-day fulfillment rates, cost-per-shipment, and customer satisfaction metrics to identify improvement opportunities.

Product Development & Delivery

• Lead end-to-end product lifecycle for transportation features, from discovery to post-launch validation.
• Collaborate with UX, Engineering, and Research teams to design shipping and delivery experiences that balance customer clarity with operational feasibility.
• Define requirements through wireframes, process flows, user stories, and acceptance criteria for carrier integration, same-day orchestration, and shipping rule engines.
• Ensure feature objectives are maintained during development by partnering closely with Engineering and Data Science teams.
• Drive integration efforts across WMS, OMS, carrier APIs, and customer-facing systems to enable seamless shipping execution and visibility.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Build relationships with Engineering, Operations, Carrier Partnerships, Data Science, and Research teams to align priorities and resolve dependencies.
• Partner with business and carrier teams to understand market-specific requirements, promotional impacts, and seasonal demand patterns affecting transportation capacity and cost.
• Communicate progress and results to stakeholders at all levels, including executive leadership, with data-driven insights.
• Support incident triage and transportation performance investigations to maintain operational reliability and customer trust.

Go-to-Market & Optimization

• Design A/B testing and experimentation plans to validate improvements to same-day delivery eligibility, carrier selection logic, and shipping speed offerings across market nodes and customer segments.
• Execute launch strategies, including UAT, change management, stakeholder communication, and post-launch validation.
• Analyze transportation performance data to identify root causes of delays, cost inefficiencies, and carrier failures, and drive continuous improvement initiatives.
• Drive adoption of best practices and operational guardrails to maintain shipping integrity and carrier compliance across the fulfillment network.
