Job Description:  
 
Roles & Responsibility: 

Own the Business Definition of the In-Transit Object 

• Define what “in-transit” means from a business standpoint — including minimum required fields, confidence levels, timestamps, and lifecycle states 

• Ensure the in-transit object reflects how the business actually plans, sequences, builds, and mitigates risk 

• Establish clear rules for what is trusted vs. informational, and how planners should interpret and act on the signal 

Translate Operational Needs into Clear Requirements 

• Work directly with material planners, logistics, transportation, procurement, and supplier teams to capture real use cases and pain points 

• Convert those needs into clear, testable business requirements that engineering teams can build against (epics, features, acceptance criteria) 

• Ensure requirements explicitly support line continuity, execution decisions, and exception management, not passive visibility 

Drive End-to-End Process Alignment 

• Map the end-to-end inbound flow (supplier ? carrier ? transit ? receiving ? production use) and identify where data breaks, degrades, or loses confidence 

• Align ASN, transportation, and tracking processes so that data is linked, synchronized, and explainable across systems 

• Define ownership and handoffs across business functions to avoid “orphaned” signals or manual workarounds 

Partner Closely with Technical Teams 

• Act as the business counterpart to digital and data teams, ensuring solutions meet operational intent 

• Review designs, data models, and logic through a business execution lens 

• Push back on solutions that are operationally unusable or misleading 

Enable Deployment and Adoption 

• Support rollout by defining what success looks like at site level (how planners use it, how exceptions are handled, what decisions move earlier) 

• Help shape training, communications, and operational guidance so teams understand how to use the signal 

• Identify early adoption issues and course-correct quickly based on real usage and feedback 

Apply Strong Analytical and Problem-Solving Rigor 

• Analyze inbound performance trends, data gaps, and exceptions to identify root causes 

• Use data to challenge assumptions, validate improvements, and refine business rules over time 

Minimum Qualifications: 

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Engineering, or related field preferred 

• 5–7 years of experience in supply chain, logistics, transportation, or related field 

• Proven experience working with inbound logistics, shipment tracking, ETAs, ASNs, or execution-level supply chain signals 

• Demonstrated experience translating operational needs into clear, testable business requirements 

• Experience working cross-functionally with business and technical teams 

• Advanced analytics experience using tools such as Excel, Tableau, Power BI, or similar 

Preferred Qualifications: 

• Experience with ERP systems (SAP, Oracle) or transportation management systems (TMS) 

• SQL querying and reporting experience 

• Prior experience in digital product management, business systems, or supply chain transformation initiatives 

Top Skills: 

• Strong supply chain domain knowledge (transportation, inbound logistics, supplier collaboration) 

• Experience with ASNs, shipment tracking, ETAs, and execution-level supply chain signals 

• Ability to operate between business and technical teams, translating operational needs into buildable requirements
