In this role, you will:

• Influence high-impact transportation and supply chain decisions.
• Work directly with operational leaders and executive stakeholders.
• Develop scalable solutions that improve service, efficiency, and profitability.
• Turn complex data into strategies that deliver measurable business results.
• Help modernize and optimize a large distribution and final-mile network.
• Join a collaborative organization where ideas, innovation, and continuous improvement are valued.

• Challenging current processes and finding better ways to serve our customers and support our teams.
• Building scalable solutions that position PrimeSource for future growth.

What You’ll Do

• Design and optimize transportation networks supporting inbound, outbound, final-mile, and dedicated fleet operations.
• Analyze transportation costs, service metrics, capacity requirements, and operational performance to identify improvement opportunities.
• Develop routing, transportation, and distribution strategies that improve efficiency and customer service.
• Perform network modeling, scenario analysis, forecasting, and capacity planning to support business growth and changing customer demands.
• Evaluate current-state transportation processes and design future-state transportation and routing models.
• Partner with Sales, Operations, Transportation, Final Mile, and IT to develop and implement transportation solutions.
• Create dashboards, KPIs, and analytical tools that provide actionable insights for operational and executive leadership.
• Identify opportunities to streamline logistics, distribution, and final-mile operations.
• Support strategic transportation initiatives, including route optimization, carrier strategy, network expansion, and delivery-model design.
• Drive continuous improvement by automating manual processes, optimizing workflows, improving system utilization, and developing scalable solutions across transportation and supply chain operations.
• Present findings and recommendations to stakeholders in a clear, compelling, and business-focused manner.
• Track implemented solutions to measure performance, validate results, and identify additional opportunities for improvement.

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain, Logistics, Data Analytics, or a related field.
• Three to five or more years of experience in transportation, logistics, supply chain engineering, network design, or analytics.
• Strong understanding of transportation networks, routing, distribution operations, final-mile delivery, and fleet optimization.
• Experience using analytical tools such as Python, SQL, Power BI, Tableau, Excel, or Coupa.
• Ability to perform scenario modeling, optimization, forecasting, and transportation analysis.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to transform complex data into practical business recommendations.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence cross-functional teams and senior leaders.
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands‑on analysis and implementation.

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Supply Chain, Logistics, Data Analytics, or a related discipline.
• Experience with transportation network design and optimization.
• Experience with vehicle routing and route-optimization tools.
• Knowledge of final-mile delivery and dedicated fleet operations.
• Experience with capacity planning and forecasting.
• Experience using transportation management systems such as SAP TM, Oracle Transportation Management, Blue Yonder, or a similar platform.
• Experience with supply chain modeling and simulation.
• Experience with data engineering, reporting automation, and dashboard development.
