This role is a critical end-user voice in the design of Logistics Data Products, and partners closely with the Global Logistics Business Process Owner (BPO) to ensure continuous improvement is grounded in real performance data. The role is also the reporting and performance lens through which Logistics contributes to the organization's broader Digital Transformation.

The Senior Manager operates in a lean organization — resourcefulness, analytical rigor, and the ability to communicate complex performance data clearly to senior stakeholders are as important as technical execution.

• Professional certification in Supply Chain or Logistics (APICS CLTD or CSCP) preferred.
• Requires 2 years of experience as a lead for performance metric reporting, management & governance in a global matrix organization.
• Master’s degree in business or Supply Chain or Industrial Engineering or finance preferred.
• Good knowledge of Supply Chain systems, particularly Oracle TMS.

• Strong leadership, networking, and influencing abilities.
• Intercultural competence and ability to work in diverse teams.
• Business acumen and financial analytics skills.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical capabilities.

• Familiarity with Oracle OTM, OTC, OPM, customers and suppliers collaboration solutions, and BI solutions.

Requirements

• Analytical rigor: builds accurate, reliable reporting from complex, multi-source data; identifies trends and root causes with precision.
• Cross-functional collaboration: working with Operating Units, commercial business units, and various internal functions.
• Data governance: defines and enforces master data standards; tracks data health and drives continuous improvement.
• Financial acumen: builds bottoms-up budgets, manages accrual methodologies, and communicates financial performance to Finance stakeholders.
• Executive communication: translates complex performance and financial data into clear narratives and recommendations for senior leadership — including PowerPoint-based briefings.
• KPI instrumentation: proposes metric calculation methodology and owns metric sourcing and visualization, so dashboards reflect true business performance - not just what is easy to measure.
• Cross-functional influence: builds alignment on data definitions and reporting standards across teams without direct authority.
• Ambiguity navigation: structures unclear analytical situations into defined options and drives the organization to a decision.
• Resourcefulness: delivers rigorous analysis within lean resource constraints; finds ways forward without waiting for perfect data or systems.
• Systems fluency: works effectively with TMS and data platforms; can articulate data requirements to DTE and data engineering teams.

• Medical, dental and vision benefits.
