The Role
This role sits within GelatoConnect Logistics (GCL), the engine responsible for the final, critical mile of our end-to-end solution. Logistics is one of the highest cost centers for our customers, and GCL turns this challenge into a competitive advantage through carrier abstraction, AI routing, and packaging optimization.
This is a hands-on, day-to-day role with clear ownership over logistics operations in your region. You’ll be responsible for ensuring shipments move smoothly, costs are predictable and competitive, and operational issues are addressed quickly and effectively. At the same time, you’ll play an active role in shaping how the platform evolves by feeding real customer and operational insight into product development and roadmap decisions.
You’ll work across multiple dimensions: operating the logistics engine, engaging directly with customers and carriers, analyzing performance data, and helping improve workflows through automation. Some work is forward-looking and analytical; some work is immediate and execution-focused. All of it directly impacts the experience our customers have when they use GelatoConnect Logistics.
What You'll Be Doing
Own day-to-day regional logistics operations end to end, ensuring shipments run smoothly, costs are controlled, and issues are resolved quickly
Monitor, analyse, and act on performance data through hands-on dashboard analysis, proactively identifying and resolving shipment issues, carrier exceptions, and operational risks, while tracking delivery quality, service levels, and cost drivers
Manage complex carrier relationships and logistics costs, including invoice accuracy, surcharges, and discrepancies
Identify and prioritise opportunities to streamline and automate operational workflows, improving speed, accuracy, and scalability
Build, design, implement, and continuously improve automated workflows, applying modern automation and AI tools to reduce manual work and increase reliability
Serve as an operational point of contact for carriers, ensuring service expectations, data flows, and processes are well understood and executed
Engage directly with GelatoConnect Logistics customers to resolve issues and explain service changes, acting as an internal advocate to ensure operational decisions reflect customer experience and impact
Translate operational and customer insight into product development, partnering with Product and Engineering to improve tools, workflows, and integrations
Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Finance, Sales, and Customer teams to align operations, pricing, and platform capabilities
Share operational insights across teams to support data-driven decisions on performance, cost, and service quality
Continuously improve the platform, identifying gaps in tooling or data and supporting the rollout of scalable operational improvements
Who You Are
You’re someone who takes pride in building systems that work, and improving them over time.
Operations-oriented: 4–8 years of experience in logistics, supply chain, operations, consulting, or a similarly execution-heavy environment
Automation-curious: Strong interest in automation and AI, with a practical mindset for applying them to real operational challenges
Data-fluent: Comfortable working with data, dashboards, and analysis to identify issues, assess impact, and guide decisions
Structured problem solver: You bring clarity and structure to complex, multi-variable problems
Customer-focused: You naturally think about how operational decisions affect customer experience and trust
Commercially aware: You understand cost drivers, service trade-offs, and the commercial implications of operational choices
Comfortable externally: Confident communicating with both carriers and customers in a clear, professional way
High ownership, high grit: You take responsibility for outcomes and stay engaged through operational friction
Adaptable learner: You pick up new tools, concepts, and domains quickly
Logistics experience is a plus, but not a requirement. What matters most is your ability to execute, learn, and continuously improve systems that customers rely on.
What This Role Is About
This role offers meaningful ownership and the chance to shape outcomes at scale.
In this role, you will:
Own hands-on operational execution with real regional accountability
Directly influence customer experience and platform quality through day-to-day decisions
Work at the intersection of execution, analysis, automation, and product input
Translate operational insights into improvements that have global impact
