- Data-driven decision maker who influences executive leadership through clear, analytical communication
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building structure in a high-growth environment
- Balances financial discipline with service excellence and long-term scalability
What You’ll Do:
- Own Veho’s first- and middle-mile transportation strategy, driving cost efficiency, service performance, and network flexibility
- Lead and develop a team of Managers overseeing procurement, planning, and daily operations
- Drive carrier procurement activities including RFPs, due diligence, contract negotiation, and SLA management
- Establish and enforce carrier scorecards across CPP, on-time performance, safety, and quality metrics
- Partner with Network Design to optimize routing, consolidation, scheduling, and injection strategies
- Collaborate with Finance to forecast and manage transportation spend while improving margin performance
- Oversee operational performance and implement structured improvement plans when necessary
- Support new market launches and expansion initiatives
- Ensure compliance with DOT regulations, insurance standards, and risk management protocols
- Present performance insights and strategic recommendations to executive leadership
What You’ll Bring:
- 10+ years of progressive experience in transportation, logistics, or 3PL leadership
- Demonstrated experience managing third-party carrier ecosystems (asset-based and brokered)
- Proven success negotiating complex commercial agreements and competitive rate structures
- Strong financial acumen with experience managing multi-million-dollar transportation spend
- Experience scaling transportation operations within e-commerce or high-volume networks preferred
- Hands-on experience with TMS platforms and logistics analytics tools
- Knowledge of DOT regulations, Hours of Service standards, and compliance frameworks
- Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, Logistics, or related field (Master’s a plus)
