The Global Logistics Control Tower Manager serves as the central command function for global logistics operations. This role is responsible for building and operating end-to-end dashboards, defining metrics, and conducting daily monitoring across transportation, warehousing, importation, outbound deployment, decommissioning, and RMA execution.
