• Build the processes and automations that ensure perfect logistics documentation across our entire supply chain
• Conduct regular carrier reviews and performance conversations, escalating or making changes when partners fall short
• Lead carrier RFPs and rate negotiations backed by data on David's volume, lanes, and priorities

Process Improvement & Special Projects

• Build tools, automations, and workflows that reduce manual work and improve accuracy across the logistics function
• Support systems projects such as TMS evaluation and improvement, EDI improvements, and 3PL onboarding
