What you will do 

Activities 
  
Your responsibilities will mainly be the following: 
 

Procurement of services 

• Inspection
  • Run a diagnosis of the inspection companies with which we don’t have contracts (Framework Agreement) or price agreements (Request For Proposals – RFPs) in place yet, and depending on priorities defined in coordination with the GM OTS (relative to global inspection costs), engage the process to have Framework Agreements signed.
  • Use our in-house procurement tool called TROPIC to run RFPs and/or Tenders for selected inspection companies.
  • While launching RFPs, onboard desk managers to manage RFPs for their own activities and run a feasibility study on how to make the TROPIC tool autonomous with minimum admin maintenance. Depending on the results of the study, develop a guideline to have users (desk managers and trading operators) fully autonomous in running RFPs on TROPIC, comparing service prices, etc.

• Superintendents & Customs Agents (Subject to TROPIC’s current developments)
  • Assist the Loss Control and Customs specialist to structure the service price for superintendents and customs agents under TROPIC, and run RFPs to collect rates from these service providers.

Digital & AI for Experts 

The experts team (OTS) puts its expertise at the service of trading operators and traders, which is key to T&S activities. With today’s digital revolution, continuous changes and in-house turnover, the question is how to leverage AI and digital tools to help our team of experts to develop, maintain and perpetuate its deep knowledge and know-how in order to and better serve its clients.  

This project can be split in two topics: 

• Availability of information to end users:
  • In collaboration with the Knowledge Management project team, map the existing knowledge of the team OTS (information repositories, type and structure of information, etc)
  • With the available digital tools, propose a solution to structure the existing information, to incorporate new information not already digitalised, and to migrate these information to the final repository as defined by IDS.
  • Suggest an architecture or catalogue to make the relevant knowledge easily available to the team of experts itself and to the end users.
• Augmented experts (leverage technology to enhance capabilities of Experts in their daily routines): 
  • Map the expertise or activities of the OTS team that could be augmented by AI
  • Feasibility study: explore the potential of selected expertise and target a priority list with best potential with AI.
  • Draft project plans on targeted fields with scope, deliverables, resources required
  • Run POC (Proof Of Concept) when relevant, in coordination with GM OTS.
