Key Responsibilities

• Own assigned P&L accounts related to shipping, freight, logistics, remote warehousing, and associated operating expenses while establishing budgets, forecasts, reporting, and performance metrics.
• Lead continuous cost-reduction initiatives across inbound and outbound freight through carrier optimization, routing strategies, freight-mode selection, consolidation, packaging improvements, and improved shipment planning.
• Negotiate, manage, and evaluate carrier, freight broker, warehouse, and third-party logistics relationships based on pricing, service levels, claims performance, reliability, and accountability.
• Oversee inbound and outbound freight operations across parcel, LTL, truckload, premium/white-glove delivery, returns, and reverse logistics while establishing scalable processes, service standards, escalation procedures, and performance dashboards.

• Lead the operational execution and continued expansion of internal logistics capabilities, including route planning, asset utilization, staffing, scheduling, process discipline, and performance management.
• Develop reporting that compares internal logistics costs and performance against third-party transportation alternatives to quantify savings, utilization, service levels, asset productivity, and overall ROI.
• Manage an offsite warehouse responsible for approximately $500,000 in high-value demonstration inventory, including receiving, storage, inspection, maintenance, packaging, shipping, returns, reconciliation, and asset tracking.
• Implement inventory-control processes providing real-time or near-real-time visibility into asset location, condition, assignment, shipment history, availability, and return status.
• Establish cycle-counting, reconciliation, loss-prevention, damage-prevention, and inventory-audit procedures to improve accuracy and protect company assets.
• Coordinate premium customer deliveries including scheduling, site readiness, delivery confirmation, placement or installation coordination when applicable, issue escalation, and post-delivery follow-up.
• Oversee the development and performance of future remote logistics hubs while establishing scalable standards for staffing, inventory management, asset controls, facility operations, safety, security, reporting, and customer service.
• Lead, coach, and develop logistics personnel, warehouse employees, drivers, coordinators, and external logistics partners as the organization continues to expand.
• Partner cross-functionally with Operations, Sales, Customer Experience, Finance, Procurement, and leadership to align logistics decisions with customer commitments and broader business objectives.

• Demonstrated experience managing freight expenditures, transportation P&Ls, logistics budgets, carrier relationships, and cost-reduction initiatives.
• Strong knowledge of inbound and outbound transportation including parcel, LTL, truckload, white-glove/premium delivery, and reverse logistics.
• Experience managing warehouse operations, inventory control, asset tracking, and high-value physical inventory.
• Proven ability to develop operational reporting and use data to measure cost, service, utilization, savings opportunities, and return on investment.
