Manager, Logistics

About the Role: Logistics Manager (Carrier & Vendor Performance)

Your mission is twofold: strategic sourcing of the best partners in the industry and the relentless management of vendor and carrier accountability. You will own the partner lifecycle-from the first RFP to the Monthly Business Review (MBR)-ensuring that our multi-complex transportation strategies are executed with precision, cost-efficiency, and reliability.

• Negotiation Power: Expertise in sourcing, vetting, and high-stakes rate negotiations across a diverse array of service models and logistics vendors.
• Compliance Fluency: Deep understanding of DOT regulations, safety ratings, and insurance requirements (Cargo, GL, Auto) for both carriers and brokers.
• Analytical Rigor: Advanced skills in Google Sheets/Excel to perform "Deep Dives" into network-level data, vendor spend, and service trends.
• Leadership: Experience in leading and developing a team of specialists focused on network health.
