Hi everyone :)

I work for a refrigerated beverage company and have been with them for over eight years. My journey from a warehouse clerk to a general admin assistant and now an outbound logistics coordinator has been both fulfilling and challenging. However, lately, I've found myself in a rut, feeling stuck in my role. My current responsibilities include being the main contact for 3PL companies we work with, communicating freight issues w/ sales, QA, accounting etc. tracking service metrics, approving product adds to orders from sales and lots of other random (sometimes tedious) tasks.

We recently hired someone who will take over most of my day-to-day tasks. My manager has given me the opportunity to redefine/grow my role, BUT they are very hands- off and basically told me that where I go from here is up to me.. So I'm focusing on researching career goals, project ideas, and finding ways make myself valuable to the company. I'm looking at things like process improvement, cost reduction, quality assurance, data analysis and cross training into inbound logistics. What are some quantifiable goals/projects I can set for myself? What logistics positions can I move into from here? I'm a little overwhelmed and not sure where to start.
