Full Job Description

Senior Manager of Logistics

The Senior Manager of Logistics holds enterprise-wide accountability for all transportation and freight operations spanning domestic distribution, company-owned fleet, and international inbound supply chain. This is a senior leadership role focused on strategy, team development, financial stewardship, and cross-functional alignment - not day-to-day operational execution, which is delegated to the Domestic Freight Manager, International Logistics Manager, and Logistics Freight Analyst who report to this position.

The Senior Manager sets the vision and performance standards for the entire logistics function, drives cost efficiency across the freight network, ensures regulatory compliance at a governance level, and serves as the primary logistics voice to executive leadership. The ideal candidate is an experienced logistics professional with a track record of building high-performing teams, optimizing complex multi-modal freight networks, and leading strategic change in a large-scale food distribution environment.

Enterprise Logistics Strategy:

Develop and own the multi-year logistics strategy integrating domestic freight, private fleet, and international inbound operations into a unified, cost-efficient network aligned with growth objectives
Establish enterprise-wide KPIs, performance standards, and accountability frameworks across all transportation functions
Lead annual freight budget development and manage total logistics spend including fleet capital planning, carrier contracts, and outside storage programs
Evaluate and champion adoption of technology platforms including TMS, ELD, and supply chain visibility tools to improve efficiency and data quality
Identify and drive network optimization opportunities including mode shifts, consolidation programs, and distribution footprint changes

Team Leadership and Organizational Development:

Recruit, develop, and retain a high-performing logistics team including the Domestic Freight Manager, International Logistics Manager, and Logistics Freight Analyst
Provide coaching, performance management, and career development for all direct reports; foster a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and operational excellence
Ensure the logistics department is appropriately staffed and structured to meet current demands and support future growth
Drive adherence to safety and sustainability standards throughout the entire logistics organization

Financial Oversight and Contract Governance:

Hold ultimate authority over all domestic and international freight contract negotiations, approving final terms for major carrier, forwarder, and 3PL agreements
Review and approve logistics-related capital expenditure requests including fleet acquisitions, maintenance investments, and technology implementations
Monitor freight spend performance against budget and direct corrective action when cost targets are at risk
Ensure freight allowance frameworks and vendor pricing structures are sound

Regulatory Governance and Risk Management:

Maintain governance-level oversight of compliance with FMCSA/DOT regulations domestically and FSMA and CBP requirements for international imports
Ensure the department maintains current trade compliance knowledge and that all regulatory obligations are properly delegated, monitored, and met
Identify and mitigate logistics-related supply chain risks including carrier capacity, port disruptions, customs delays, and fleet reliability with proactive contingency planning

Executive and Cross-Functional Partnership:

Serve as the logistics department's primary liaison to executive leadership, presenting network performance, strategic initiatives, capital requests, and market developments
Partner with Procurement, Category Management, Finance, Quality Assurance, and Sales to align logistics capabilities with business priorities and demand plans
Represent the organization in key carrier, supplier, and industry relationships that require senior manager level engagement

Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business, Logistics, or related field required; Master's degree or MBA strongly preferred
10+ years of progressive logistics and transportation management experience with at least 5 years in a leadership role
Demonstrated experience managing both domestic transportation including private fleet and international import logistics operations
Prior experience in food and beverage distribution or temperature-controlled supply chain strongly preferred
Proven ability to build, develop, and retain high-performing teams across multiple functional areas
Executive-level communication and influence skills; comfortable presenting to C-suite and board-level stakeholders
Strategic thinker with the ability to translate business goals into logistics network decisions
Broad knowledge of FTL, LTL, intermodal, ocean, and air freight; cold chain management; fleet operations; and customs/trade compliance
Familiarity with TMS platforms, ERP systems such as SAP and Oracle, ELD technology, and supply chain analytics tools
APICS CSCP/CLTD, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, or equivalent senior supply chain credential preferred
