You will be an unbiased thought partner, to help the Taiwan GM craft the strategy, flag risks and opportunities early, and foster alignment with Global priorities
- Logistics Strategy and Performance Management: The role is critical in defining the long-term logistics growth strategy and planning in Taiwan. This strategic oversight is paired with accountability for performance, which includes setting and monitoring Logistics OKRs and the P&L. A key component is providing logistics data insights and analytics, with a specific focus on optimizing Cost per Trip (CpT) and overall operations efficiency.
- Drive our business intelligence function. You will build and maintain our sources of truth for performance tracking, with a particular focus on Taiwan. You will use SQL and analytical proficiency to visualise data, dive deep into problems, identify trends and present your findings as succinct, actionable insights

- Drive robust governance. You will develop and coordinate governance and accountability models to ensure the team is on track to achieve goals and course correct as needed
- Lead bi-annual planning cycles. As part of the company-wide strategic planning process, you will support the Taiwan GM to set strategic priorities, determine the right metrics and targets to quantify those priorities, translate them into concrete projects & work closely with teams across the region to deliver on execution
What You'll Need:
- Proven track record: 3+ years of professional work experience in strategy consulting, banking, engineering or similar industries, using data to drive business decisions.

- SQL proficiency: Experience using SQL for data analysis in a professional environment.
- Strong communication skills: You are a clear and concise communicator with the ability to synthesise a lot of information quickly, highlight the key take-aways, and disseminate actionable insights.
- Ability to thrive in ambiguity: Launching a new business model isn’t easy, and there often isn’t an existing plan for you to follow. You are able to manage and deliver end-to-end projects autonomously.
- Eagerness to learn: The Direct S&P function works with every team in the business and across a wide range of topics. You will thrive if you are keen to learn widely and build confidence working in any domain and with any stakeholder.
