- Issue Escalation & Resolution: Support service and capacity teams on exceptional transportation issues, including securing coverage when normal arrangements are insufficient.
- Provider Management: Maintain relationships with transportation providers, address concerns, reinforce standard practices, and drive improvement actions.
- Contingency Planning: Develop strategies and end-to-end partnerships to manage short-term transportation demand spikes and exceptional logistics scenarios.
- Cost & Service Strategy: Recommend and implement transportation approaches that balance T-Hub cost/service objectives with broader market supply chain strategies.
Qualifications
- 5+ years in transportation planning and/or execution.

- Exposure to multiple areas of supply chain, with the ability to connect transportation decisions to broader business needs.
- Strong stakeholder and provider management skills, particularly around escalations, capacity constraints, service performance, and contingency planning.
