Partner cross-functionally with Engineering, Supply Chain, Planning, Operations, Manufacturing, Service, and Facilities to align logistics readiness with company milestones.

Manage large-scale initiatives (e.g., new warehouse implementations, automation deployments, material flow redesigns) balancing short-term build needs with long-term scalability.

Integrate technology, automation, and lean practices into logistics operations to improve throughput, accuracy, and sustainability.

Design and optimize inbound, warehouse, and outbound logistics processes to maximize efficiency, reduce costs, and meet operational requirements while engaging key stakeholders to drive solutions. Analyze material flow patterns to identify inefficiencies, implement strategies to reduce lead times, and manage cross-functional issue resolution.

Mentor and lead cross-functional project teams, providing structure, accountability, and clarity around priorities, deliverables, and risks. Create and implement standards for best practices on methodologies, tools and processes for consistent execution.

Develop and manage schedules, risk registers, and reporting tools (Smartsheet, MS Project, etc.) to ensure on-time, in-scope delivery of logistics programs.

On-site Requirement: 4-5x per week in the office when not traveling.
