• Own the regional truck transportation strategy and operating performance across dry van, refrigerated, flatbed, bulk/tanker, dedicated, intermodal drayage, and less-than-truckload transportation.
• Lead sourcing, bid events, rate negotiations, contracting, capacity planning, carrier onboarding, and network optimization for an approximately $50 million annual spend portfolio.
• Direct daily execution, including load scheduling, carrier tendering, booking, shipment tracking, delivery appointments, exception management, and service recovery.
• Lead and develop transportation coordinators, load planners, and freight tendering personnel with clear expectations, accountability, coaching, and succession planning.
• Build strategic relationships with core carriers and logistics providers; conduct business reviews and enforce contractual, service, safety, and compliance requirements.
• Partner with Plant Operations, Supply Chain, Customer Service, Finance, Safety, and Compliance to support uninterrupted operations and customer commitments.
• Identify and deliver measurable savings through carrier optimization, route and mode improvements, utilization, market intelligence, and disciplined freight-cost management.
• Lead escalation and continuity planning for capacity constraints, weather, equipment shortages, service failures, and other transportation disruptions.

Performance & Governance

• Own KPI reporting and corrective actions for safety, on-time pickup and delivery, tender acceptance, carrier utilization, freight cost, load execution accuracy, claims, compliance, and customer service.
• Monitor carrier safety performance, CSA scores, insurance, and regulatory compliance; partner on incident investigations and corrective actions.
• Maintain audit-ready transportation documentation and support compliance with applicable DOT, FMCSA, OSHA, environmental, and company requirements.
• Analyze transportation data and market conditions, identify risk and opportunity, and present clear recommendations to senior leadership.

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Business Administration, or a related field preferred.
• 3-5+ years of progressive experience in truck transportation, logistics operations, carrier management, or transportation procurement.
• Demonstrated experience managing a large, multi-mode truck freight portfolio and negotiating with carriers and logistics service providers.
• Proven people leadership experience in transportation execution, load planning, or freight tendering environments.
• Strong command of transportation economics, contracts, carrier performance, safety, compliance, financial analysis, and continuous improvement.
• Proficiency with transportation management systems, analytics, KPI reporting, and data-based decision-making.
• Strong executive communication, negotiation, problem-solving, prioritization, and cross-functional leadership skills.

Preferred Credentials

APICS/ASCM, CSCMP, Lean Six Sigma, transportation, or safety certification.

Success in This Role

Success will be measured by improved transportation safety, reliable capacity, on-time execution, carrier compliance, customer service, operating productivity, budget performance, data accuracy, and sustainable cost improvement across the approximately $50 million truck freight portfolio.
