• Collaborate with Tech and Product teams to identify automation and tooling opportunities that improve vendor performance visibility and operational efficiency.
• Own performance dashboards, reporting, and business reviews across key KPIs such as fill rate, ship SLA adherence, RTS, and customer satisfaction.
• Serve as the voice of Dropship operations in executive-level planning, identifying risks and unlocking scale.
