Key Accountabilities

• Supplier Growth & Onboarding: Design and execute a structured supplier acquisition strategy, bringing new carriers onto the platform in key regions.

Provide structured, data-led feedback to product and engineering teams to help improve the partner experience. Contribute to the design of self-serve tools and automated workflows that reduce friction and support scale.
• Scaling & Strategic Input: Support the expansion of LITTA into new cities and regions by ensuring supply is built ahead of demand.
