- Proven experience managing high shipment volumes (10+ per day) across multiple carriers and modes
- Strong working knowledge of freight pricing and the ability to evaluate and challenge carrier quotes
- Hands-on experience with NetSuite, or another TMS/ERP system (required — not a "nice to have")
- Experience managing 3PL relationships and holding external partners to SLAs
- Organized, direct communicator who can juggle multiple open shipments without dropping the ball
- CPG or beverage industry background is a plus, but not require
- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain, Operations, or related field (or equivalent experience).
