Process & Workflow Optimization: Drive the standardization and continuous improvement of cross-functional logistics workflows between internal IT teams and external partners.

- Vendor Management: Serve as the direct manager for regional service partners, including specific oversight of SEAL, providing support for the Latin America region.
- Single Point of Contact: Act as the ultimate escalation point for IT logistics issues, resolving high-priority "Work Blocking" requests and complex international shipping hurdles.
- Cross-Functional Liaison: Bridge the gap between the Deployment Consultants (DC), Pinterest IT, and external partners like CDW and Milestone.
- Daily Operational Reporting: Roll up daily metrics on queue volume, shipping output, and pending recoveries for Pinterest leadership.
- Data Integrity: Ensure >98% accuracy in Oomnitza by auditing team entries for serial numbers, user assignments, and asset statuses.
- SLA Monitoring: Track and report on key performance indicators (KPIs), specifically focusing on the outbound SLA for critical/VIP requests.
- Process Optimization: Continuously audit existing workflows to identify friction points and propose "Managed Service" improvements.
- Global Standardization: Ensure that deployment standards in the US are consistently mirrored across regional hubs in Dublin, Singapore, Canada, and LATAM.
- Inventory Optimization: Maximize Inventory utilization by ensuring used/hold stock is wiped, graded, and redeployed before triggering new procurement.
- Global Stock Balancing: Monitor inventory levels across all regional hubs (US, DUB, SIN, CAN, LATAM); proactively rebalance stock between regions to minimize "dead" inventory and avoid redundant spend.
