TITLE : Transportation Integration & Cost Synergy Lead

Contract Opportunity

No Sponsorship

Onsite in North Dallas

This is a newly created, high-impact 6-month contract position focused on the rapid integration and optimization of transportation operations from a recently acquired business unit into the broader corporate logistics network. The mission is fast, measurable cost reduction and process harmonization across a national and international footprint. Success hinges on speed, analytical rigor, and the ability to influence and align internal teams toward standardized, lower-cost processes. If you've previously stepped into newly acquired or under-optimized operations, delivered quantifiable freight savings and thrive in fast-paced integration projects, this short-term assignment is built for you.

Requirements :

  • 8+ years in transportation / distribution operations with a proven track record of delivering large-scale cost-reduction or process-improvement projects inside complex organizations.
  • 3+ years in a managerial role
  • Demonstrated strength in influencing internal stakeholders (warehouse, procurement, and operations teams) to adopt new processes and achieve financial targets — internal "change leadership" experience is more important than carrier rate negotiation in this role.
  • Exceptional analytical horsepower and a bias for rapid execution; you can digest disparate data sources, spot savings opportunities, and move to implementation within days or weeks.
  • Strong relationship-building and communication skills — the acquired teams are collaborative but will need clear direction and partnership to move quickly.
  • Hands-on experience with multiple ERPs and niche transportation systems is a plus (exposure to smaller / regional ERPs and legacy platforms is especially valuable).
  • Working knowledge of Reconex or similar customer-facing TMS platforms is beneficial.
  • Experience operating in an environment where full inbound tracking capabilities are still being built.

Responsibilities :

  • Quickly build in-depth understanding of the acquired division's current transportation practices (warehousing, carrier selection, routing, and freight management across its various operating brands).
  • Partner closely with warehouse leaders, buyers, and operations teams to identify and implement productivity improvements and cost-takeout initiatives.
  • Drive the consolidation and standardization of all inbound and outbound logistics flows (LTL, parcel / small package, ocean freight, and select truckload) into the corporate framework.
  • Identify workflow gaps, eliminate redundancies, and establish sustainable, repeatable processes.
  • Resolve current visibility gaps, especially around inbound shipment tracking.
  • Document new standards and train affected teams to ensure changes stick post-integration.
