Job Description

The Solution Designer is a technical specialist responsible for engineering operational and commercial proposals that bridge customer needs with SingPost’s core capabilities and products.

His/her mission is to translate complex enterprise requirements into high-quality, executable logistics solutions that drive "wins," maximize internal resource utilisation, and protect profitability through rigorous cost modeling.

Responsibility:

• Design and engineer end-to-end solutions for the delivery and distribution vertical, ensuring that complex operational workflows meet the specific handling, security, and compliance requirements of Healthcare and Enterprise-grade clients.

• Monitor and manage daily distribution flows at a project level to ensure network performance aligns with strict Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and client KPIs.

• Perform regular audits of operational workflows to proactively identify capability gaps, technical bottlenecks, or inefficiencies; provide actionable recommendations to senior management for process hardening and service upskilling.

• Work with Product Managers to implement and track continuous improvement initiatives, ensuring that "lessons learned" from daily operations and service recovery efforts are converted into permanent workflow enhancements.

• Coordinate internal resource allocation (fleet, manpower, and facility space) between Operations and Commercial teams to maintain an optimal, scalable, and cost-effective distribution network.

• Maintain rigorous cost-control checks at the transaction level, performing detailed cost modeling and identifying variances in fuel, labor, or vendor costs to ensure the operation remains within budget and maintains maximum profitability.

• Analyze network throughput data using operational analytics to suggest tactical shifts in routing, sorting, or first-mile/last-mile processes that improve speed without increasing cost.

• Collaborate with Commercial and Sales teams to validate that proposed technical client solutions and quotations are operationally feasible and commercially viable before they are finalized in RFPs or contracts.
