• Prepare and analyze operational performance reports to guide decision‑making

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Partner with internal stakeholders to achieve delivery, cost, and quality goals

• Negotiate and maintain effective relationships with outbound transportation partners

What You Bring

• 5+ years of experience in warehouse, logistics, or supply chain operations
• 5+ years of people leadership experience in a supervisory or managerial role

• Strong analytical skills with experience managing KPIs and operational metrics
• Proven ability to build and lead high‑performing, collaborative teams
• Comfort navigating ambiguity and developing clear strategies and contingency plans
• Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, evolving environment
• Proficiency with WMS, ERP, TMS, and related systems

• Experience implementing automation or large‑scale process redesign
