Process Improvement 

• Develop, document, and maintain SOPs and workflows for transportation planning, execution, claims, and exception management. 

• Identify process gaps and manual work, and implement practical, scalable improvements. 

Carrier & Provider Management 

• Manage relationships with carriers, freight forwarders, brokers, and 3PLs, including scorecards, regular business reviews, and corrective-action plans. 

• Support sourcing, RFPs, rate negotiations, and carrier onboarding. 

Team Leadership & Cross-Functional Partnership 

• Lead, coach, and develop transportation team members, setting clear goals and expectations. 

• Partner with Warehouse Operations, Logistics, Trade Compliance, Finance, Procurement, IT, and Customer Service to support end-to-end product movement and regulatory requirements. 

• Communicate performance, results, and risks to the Executive Director.

• Strong analytical skills; advanced Excel and experience with Power BI, Tableau, or similar tools. 

• Use AI and automation tools to automate manual and daily tasks, such as reporting, spend analysis, and exception management, and to surface cost and service insights faster. 

• Experience with TMS, ERP, or other transportation technology. 

• Experience leading or mentoring team members; strong communication and stakeholder skills.

• Document and improve core processes and deliver measurable cost or service improvements. 

• Build a capable, engaged team with clear roles and accountability.
