Role

Last-Mile Coordinator

The hiring challenge

The last mile is where the delivery promise is kept or broken in front of the customer. The coordinator plans routes, manages own or outsourced couriers and reacts live to failures, all under the pressure of the promised deadlines. The one who fails is reactive and doesn't anticipate the peak breakdown, leaving dropped deliveries and complaints.

What to assess

Logistics planning under pressure, real-time problem solving and coordination of dispersed teams.
