Monitor parcel carrier performance, transit times, and charges, escalating issues when appropriate
Support parcel-related projects and peak season execution initiatives to ensure operational readiness
Partner with Distribution Centers to optimize trailer cube, scheduling, and inbound flow efficiency
Collaborate with vendors and internal stakeholders to ensure compliance with routing expectations and execution standards

5+ years of transportation or supply chain experience across TL, LTL, Intermodal, and Parcel
1–2+ years of direct people management experience, with a proven track record of developing and leading a team.
