- 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.

- 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.

- Financial & Economic Acumen: Able to own the network's financial conscience, audit the true cost-to-serve, and investigate novel cost-saving initiatives.
Experience
- Level: 5-10+ years in network logistics or supply chain design.
- Context: Significant experience building and optimizing a multi-node network subject to real constraints in a high-growth, competitive, or tech-forward environment.
- Target Companies: 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
Key Mindset: Must have experience working in cost-constrained environments and the ability to balance building an ideal network with present-day fiscal responsibility.
