• Market Benchmarking: Monitor digital trends across freight forwarding (e.g., myDSV, DHLi, myKN) and broader B2B/SaaS sectors to identify key differentiators.

• End-to-End Execution: Lead initiatives through the full lifecycle: discovery, design, build, test, launch, and continuous improvement.

• Technical Collaboration: Partner with Architecture, Integration, Data, Cybersecurity, and third-party vendors. Coordinate dependencies with core enterprise systems (e.g., CargoWise, CRM, Finance).

• Quality Assurance: Facilitate stakeholder workshops, write test scripts, lead functional testing, and coordinate release management.
