Director of Logistics, Freight & Network Optimization

Alpine Home Air Products

KY • On-site

Full-time

Re-posted 18 days ago


Job description

About Alpine
Pioneers in our industry, we have built our reputation on providing intelligent and energy-efficient HVAC solutions to homeowners. At Alpine, we're proud to maintain an exceptional customer satisfaction rating of 4.85 (out of 5), a testament to our unwavering commitment to delivering excellence.
About the Role
Alpine Home Air is seeking a Director of Logistics, Freight & Network Optimization to own the economics, performance, and risk of our inbound and outbound freight network.
This role exists because freight is no longer a transactional function - it is a decision system that directly impacts margins, damage rates, customer experience, and operational behavior across the company.
This is a senior, analytical leadership role responsible for designing, optimizing, and governing the freight system, not merely managing shipments. The mandate is to turn logistics from a cost center into a controlled, measurable, continuously improving system.
Authority & Scope
  • Full ownership of freight strategy, carrier relationships, and cost outcomes
  • Authority over carrier selection, contracts, and rate structures
  • Ownership of freight-related SLAs, claims, and accessorial management
  • Partner-level authority with Warehouse, ERP, Analytics, and Finance leadership
  • Decision authority independent of short-term operational or sales pressure

Core Responsibilities
Freight Economics & Strategy
  • Own all inbound and outbound freight spend across LTL, TL, parcel, and hybrid modes
  • Design carrier strategy to balance cost, reliability, and damage risk
  • Lead rate negotiations, contract structuring, and performance enforcement
  • Eliminate hidden cost drivers including accessorials, reclasses, and inefficiencies

Network & Mode Optimization
  • Optimize mode selection based on shipment characteristics, cost, and service requirements
  • Identify opportunities to consolidate, re-route, or redesign freight flows
  • Evaluate carrier mix and network design to reduce variance and risk

Damage, Claims & Risk Management
  • Own freight-related damage economics end-to-end
  • Design and enforce claims processes that recover value consistently
  • Identify root causes of damage in partnership with warehouse execution teams
  • Drive packaging, palletization, and handling standards to reduce loss

Data, Metrics & Reporting
  • Define freight KPIs that reflect true cost, performance, and risk
  • Partner with analytics to build PowerBI dashboards for freight visibility
  • Identify where metrics are masking real cost drivers and correct them
  • Ensure freight data integrity across ERP and carrier systems

ERP & Systems Integration
  • Develop deep working understanding of Alpine's custom ERP freight logic
  • Ensure freight processes are correctly represented in system workflows
  • Close gaps between system assumptions and real-world carrier behavior

AI & Automation Enablement
  • Identify and implement AI-assisted workflows for:
    • Rate anomaly detection
    • Carrier performance scoring
    • Damage and claims pattern analysis
    • Shipment risk prediction
  • Translate freight realities into inputs automation systems can reliably act on

Cross-Functional Partnership
  • Partner closely with Warehouse Systems & Execution leadership on:
    • Packaging standards
    • Pallet configurations
    • Shipment readiness and handling practices
  • Work with Finance to align freight economics with margin and pricing strategy

Required Experience
  • 7+ years in logistics, freight, or network optimization leadership
  • Proven ownership of multi-million-dollar freight spend
  • Strong analytical capability; comfortable working with complex data
  • Experience partnering with custom ERP systems and BI tools (PowerBI or equivalent)
  • Systems thinker who understands incentives, contracts, and behavior
  • Calm, high-agency leader able to hold authority without escalation or drama
  • Pragmatic curiosity about AI and automation (applied, not theoretical)

Benefits
  • Group health insurance plus health savings account, 401k, paid time off, paid holidays, life insurance, short-term disability and more
  • Paid educational and professional development training

About Us
Started in 2002, we are the first ecommerce company to sell pro-grade heating and cooling units directly to homeowners. As a team of forward-thinking innovators, we are working to provide HVAC solutions to homeowners in a way that:
  1. Leads Americans away from using low efficiency and non-renewable HVAC appliances and towards high efficiency and all-electric ones, a key requirement for reducing the country's dependency on fossil fuels and to slow global warming;
  2. Provides a shopping experience for customers that's so easy it's almost fun, having them exclaim "wow!", enabled through extreme operational competency; and
  3. Prioritizes a harmonious win for customers, team members, the company and the environment.
