• Lead network readiness for new city launches and seasonal peaks, ensuring seamless scalability without compromising service quality.
• Analyze performance metrics (on-time rate, failed deliveries, cost/parcel, vehicle fill rate) and drive continuous improvement initiatives.
• Evaluate and implement innovations such as cargo bikes, locker networks, and low-emission vehicle deployment in alignment with French ZFE (Zone à Faibles Émissions) regulations.
