-   Own logistics data integrity: SKU master data, supplier records, open POs, and inbound shipments.
-   Define and document SOPs for all logistics functions within the ERP.
-   Train logistics team and cross-functional stakeholders; serve as internal SME post go-live.

### **Amazon FBA Compliance & Channel Fulfillment**

-   Manage Amazon FBA shipment creation, labeling, and compliance.
-   Monitor FBA prep standards, hazmat requirements, and product-specific packaging rules.
-   Manage restock limits and utilization rates to prevent ASIN suppression.
-   Coordinate with Brand Managers on FBA listing issues with logistics dependencies.

### **Team Leadership & Management**

-   Set clear KPIs, conduct 1:1s, and performance reviews.
-   Identify team gaps and address via hiring, training, or automation.
-   Foster a culture of ownership, accuracy, and continuous improvement.

### **Budget & Cost Management**

-   Track spend vs. budget, reporting variances and corrective actions.
-   Identify cost reduction opportunities without compromising service levels.
-   Manage 3PL and carrier relationships, negotiating rates and agreements.
