* Operational Alignment: Partner with operations leadership to forecast capacity needs and align supplier plans with changing business priorities.
* Team Leadership: Lead, mentor, and coach a team of project coordinators (in-house or outsourced), ensuring consistent execution and delivery against operational targets.
* Process Improvement: Identify capacity constraints and introduce process enhancements that increase flexibility and speed without sacrificing quality.
* Performance Tracking: Maintain clear oversight of daily warehouse capacity status using updates from suppliers and project coordinators to make data-driven operational adjustments.
What we are looking for
* Relevant Experience: Proven track record in managing external suppliers and large-scale capacity within retail, logistics, FMCG, e-commerce, or similar fast-paced environments.
* People Leadership: Demonstrated experience managing, coaching, and developing teams to achieve operational targets.
* Analytical & Strategic Thinking: Strong knowledge of capacity management strategies with the ability to leverage operational data to drive decisions.
* Stakeholder Management: Excellent communication skills with a proven ability to build strong relationships across internal operations teams and external vendors.
