About The Position

The role will own the overall health of the network as a system, including the following pillars: Define the "Tenets of Connectivity" by balancing cost, touches, and speed to determine hub-to-spoke linkage. Anticipate the future, ensuring major real estate and flow decisions are made months in advance of capacity breaking points. Establish clear financial burn guardrails and client SLAs aligned with Commercial. Deeply understand Origin-Destination (OD) flows, resulting zone mix, and breakdowns by client size to revise network design. Establish and focus on the end-to-end "Ops Clock," acting as the "dwell hunter" of the network. Conduct "Speed vs. Margin" analysis by developing data pipelines that estimate arc level volumes. Decide when volume justifies a direct lane versus a consolidated move, ensuring speed is a deliberate choice, and track Direct Arc Opportunities for bypassing intermediate facilities. IDEAL CANDIDATE ARCHETYPE Strategic Network Architect: Possesses deep subject matter expertise to design complex network structures (Topology & Flow) and ensures the physical footprint evolves ahead of demand. Data-Driven Operator: Expert in leveraging analytics and data pipelines to identify inefficiencies (Dwell Hunting) and quantify tradeoffs (Speed vs. Margin analysis). Systems and Process Builder: Capable of translating strategic decisions into system behavior  and partnering with Product to define requirements for network orchestration tools. Financial & Economic Acumen: Able to own the network's financial conscience, audit the true cost-to-serve, and investigate novel cost-saving initiatives. Key Mindset: Must have experience working in cost-constrained environments and the ability to balance building an ideal network with present-day fiscal responsibility.

Requirements

  • 5-10+ years in network logistics or supply chain design.
  • Significant experience building and optimizing a multi-node network subject to real constraints in a high-growth, competitive, or tech-forward environment.
  • Experience often comes from "one degree of separation" companies like Amazon, FedEx, UPS, other parcel carriers, tier 2 e-commerce providers (like Chewy or Walmart), and at-scale 3PLs (like GXO or Ascendant).
  • Extensive experience using Ai to optimize logistics processes and workflows
  • Must have experience working in cost-constrained environments and the ability to balance building an ideal network with present-day fiscal responsibility.
