Job description

Description

As a Transportation Operations Manager, you will serve as the connective tissue between operations execution and performance measurement across both logistics and warehousing services. You will own the full metrics lifecycle — from establishing goals and targets, to tracking performance, to reporting actuals vs. targets for stakeholders across the network. You will simultaneously drive day-to-day operations execution while identifying and implementing structural efficiency improvements that reduce cost, improve throughput, and elevate service levels.

MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES:

Metrics Framework & Goal Setting

Design and own the performance metrics framework for transportation and warehousing operations, establishing baseline targets, stretch goals, and tolerance thresholds across key indicators including on-time delivery, warehouse utilization, and carrier performance

Partner with Operations teams and senior leadership to align metrics targets with organizational objectives and network strategy goals

Build and maintain a unified scorecard spanning both logistics (carrier, lane, mode) and warehousing (throughput, labor, space utilization) dimensions, ensuring end-to-end supply chain visibility

Reporting & Actuals vs. Targets Tracking

Develop and publish recurring performance reports — daily, weekly, and monthly — tracking actuals against established targets and surfacing variance trends requiring intervention

Build automated reporting pipelines and dashboards that translate raw operational data into clear, actionable insights for operations managers and senior leadership

Own root cause analysis for metric deviations, documenting findings and driving corrective action plans with accountable stakeholders

Support QBR and MBR reporting cycles with structured narratives that contextualize performance trends against operational and market conditions

Operations Execution

Lead day-to-day transportation and warehousing operations execution, ensuring service continuity, compliance with SOPs, and alignment with carrier and LSP commitments

Serve as an escalation point for operational issues — carrier failures, capacity shortfalls, warehouse throughput bottlenecks — coordinating rapid resolution across internal teams and 3P providers

Operational Efficiency & Continuous Improvement

Identify inefficiencies across transportation lanes and warehousing operations through data analysis, and develop structured improvement initiatives with measurable outcomes

Build and maintain a continuous improvement pipeline — tracking initiative status, projected savings, and realized impact against plan

Develop supplier and carrier performance measurement frameworks that drive accountability and continuous improvement

Partner with category, procurement, and systems teams to align operational efficiency initiatives with broader network strategy and cost reduction goals

Stakeholder Alignment & Cross-functional Partnership

Align with building leadership, regional operations, Finance, and centralized procurement to ensure metrics and efficiency programs reflect both site-level realities and network-wide priorities

Develop relationships across the operations network to ensure best practices in reporting, tracking, and performance management are shared and implemented consistently

A day in the life

The day kicks off reviewing overnight carrier performance dashboards — two lanes missed on-time targets, triggering a root cause deep dive before 8am. By mid-morning, you're in a standup with LSP partners, working through a warehouse throughput bottleneck flagged in yesterday's actuals-vs-targets report. Lunch is spent refining an automated reporting pipeline ahead of next week's MBR. The afternoon brings a cross-functional call with systems and regional ops to align on Q3 efficiency targets. Before signing off, you're updating the continuous improvement tracker — one initiative just hit its projected performance milestone.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent qualification in supply chain management, engineering, business management or other relevant field
• 3+ years of program management, logistics, operations, supply chain, transportation, or related field experience

• 5+ years of data analysis using tools such as Excel, Pivot Tables, SQL, Tableau, or equivalent experience
• Experience in program management, logistics, operations, supply chain, or transportation or equivalent professional or military experience
• Experience communicating results to senior leadership, or experience in building financial and operational reports/data sets that inform business decision-making

• Master's degree, or MBA in supply chain, business, engineering, finance or related technical or quantitative field
• Experience in data centers, infrastructure service providers, or related technology companies
• 1+ years of using business intelligence reporting tools such as OBIEE, Business Objects, Cognos, Tableau, MicroStrategy, SSAS Cubes, etc. experience

• Experience working in an operations, supply chain, transportation, project management or management consulting role
