Automation & Innovation

• Leverage AI to automate control monitoring, anomaly detection, and compliance reporting.

• Champion automation initiatives across release and control processes to drive efficiency and reduce manual interventions.

• Bring a strong zeal for automation, continuously exploring innovative technologies and practices to enhance operational effectiveness.

Governance & Reporting

• Contribute to Change Control Board (CCB) compliance and ensure governance across all logistics products.

• Maintain KPIs and dashboards for release and control performance.

• Support Net Promoter Score (NPS) governance and feedback loops for logistics applications.

Cross-functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Product teams, Vendor partners and Central Governance teams (Cyber Security, Global Change Management, etc.).

• Engage with regional and global stakeholders to harmonise release and control practices.

• Contribute to strategic initiatives such as implementation of Bring Your Identity for 3PL users, DR/WAF, and roles rationalisation.

NECESSARY EXPERIENCE & QUALIFICATIONS:

• 3–5 years of experience in Release Management, IT Controls, or DevOps within a logistics or supply chain environment.

• Strong understanding of ITIL processes, audit frameworks, and risk management.

• Hands-on experience with ServiceNow.

• Familiarity with automation tools and CI/CD pipelines.

• Exposure to AI/ML tools or platforms used in IT operations or compliance is a plus.
