• Maintain clear, open communication with team members and senior management, ensuring all questions and issues are addressed promptly.
• Monitor logistics email communications regularly for shipment updates, order changes, and status notifications.

Project Support

• Assist with additional supply chain projects and cross-functional initiatives as needed.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in domestic logistics, transportation management, or supply chain operations.
• The ability to multitask between supporting coordinators, problem-solving, and managing your workload.
• STRONG management experience in a specialized domestic logistics.
• Experience managing FTL and LTL shipments including carrier selection, routing, and order splitting.
• Proven experience managing retail account compliance requirements across major national retailers.
