  • Cost Analysis & Budgeting: Own and manage the site's freight budget. Conduct regular cost-to-serve analyses to identify opportunities for mode shifts, duty reductions, and overall savings.
  • Risk Management: Identify and mitigate risks related to global supply chain disruptions, customs holds, and transportation delays. Develop contingency plans to ensure business continuity.
  • Cross-Functional Alignment: Work closely with Planning, Warehouse Operations, and Customer Program Management (CPM) to ensure logistics capabilities align with the production schedule and customer delivery expectations.
  • Systems Utilization: Drive the effective utilization of Transportation Management Systems (TMS) and other logistics software to track shipments, audit invoices, and generate performance reports.
