Tech Stack
About the role
- Lead the operational lifecycle of our Rating Variance Programs.
- Serve as the primary operational partner for Product and Engineering.
- Support ownership of a "Pre-launch Onboarding" process for all hosted carrier contracts.
- Lead the tactical execution and program design for international price updates.
- Move the team from "ad-hoc heroics" to repeatable processes.
- Oversee the team’s root cause and solution output.
Requirements
- 5+ years in technical operations or logistics, with a focus on carrier management or billing systems.
- Program Management background is a plus.
- Advanced Data Proficiency: Proficiency with SQL and analytic platforms is preferred.
- Operational Mindset: You enjoy taking complex, ambiguous problems and building a streamlined, documented process to solve them at scale.
- Logistics SME: Deep understanding of the parcel industry's rating logic, including zones, weight tiers, and the technical nuances of carrier-to-platform billing.
- Technical Communication: Exceptional ability to "translate" between technical and non-technical stakeholders—navigating a deep-dive with an Engineer in the morning and an operational sync with a Carrier Partner in the afternoon.
- Bias for Action: You thrive in an environment where you are expected to identify a problem, build a solution, and then document the process for the broader team to follow. You think quickly and act quicker.
