• Oversee purchase order creation, delivery tracking, and issue resolution for transportation services.
• Support operational and administrative tasks related to transportation procurement execution, including invoice reconciliation and KPI tracking.

You Bring:

Preferred Experience:

• Strategic sourcing using Coupa or similar platforms.
• Experience with freight cost modeling, carrier performance management, and logistics contract structures.
• Familiarity with international trade compliance, Incoterms, and customs documentation.
• Exposure to cross-functional project coordination involving transportation or supply chain systems.
