  • Monitor nationwide carrier performance, including on-time delivery, transit times, damage claims, and compliance with SLAs.
  • Analyze shipping data to identify optimization opportunities, reduce costs, and enhance service quality.
  • Lead initiatives to minimize shipping exceptions, delivery issues, and client-impacting disruptions.
  • Partner with Warehouse Operations to ensure carrier processes (pickup schedules, trailer volume planning, manifests, labeling) are executed effectively.
  • Collaborate with Finance and Procurement to analyze cost trends, support budgeting, and validate carrier invoices.
  • Work with IT and WMS teams to maintain accurate carrier integrations, API updates, and label compliance.
  • Evaluate and onboard new carriers to strengthen capacity, reduce risk, and enhance geographic coverage.
  • Build contingency plans for peak seasons, weather disruptions, and regional capacity shortages.

  • Strong negotiation skills with proven experience in contract and rate management.
  • Analytical mindset with ability to interpret data and identify optimization opportunities.
