- Proactively manage transportation issues, including delivery delays, carrier service failures, and shipment exceptions to protect customer service levels.
- Maintain visibility across the transportation network to ensure on-time, in-full (OTIF) delivery performance.
Carrier & Logistics Partner Management
- Build and manage relationships with transportation carriers, freight brokers, and logistics providers to ensure reliable service and competitive market rates.
- Track and evaluate carrier performance metrics, including service levels, transit times, and cost efficiency.
- Support carrier sourcing and rate negotiations in partnership with supply chain leadership.
- Collaborate with warehouse and 3PL partners to ensure efficient coordination between transportation and distribution operations.
Freight Cost Management & Optimization

- Monitor freight spend and identify opportunities to reduce cost while maintaining service reliability.
- Support transportation cost improvement initiatives, including mode optimization, carrier consolidation, and routing improvements.
International Logistics Coordination
- Coordinate international inbound shipments in partnership with freight forwarders and customs brokers.
- Ensure proper import/export documentation, customs compliance, and regulatory adherence.
- Track inbound international freight schedules to maintain inventory availability and supply continuity.
Cross-Functional Supply Chain Collaboration
