Job Description

In this role, you will be responsible for supporting a container utilization initiative that aims to create more efficiencies in how international vendors are packing and shipping out containers of product. You are expected to communicate clearly and respectfully with international vendors, and work with them to identify gaps in the current process, and then build out solutions to create efficiency and cost saving measures. You will review load plans - giving feedback when needed, make sure that the vendors are loading full containers versus shipping half empty, reviewing current and future PO's to understand the volume of freight that needs to be planned for, taking an in-depth look at the facilities that don’t have the freight needed to ship a full container and determining the best route to take by either shipping half way packed, or waiting on the future order to come in so that the container can be packed fully before shipment. You will be expected to be a self-motivated, driven individual displaying a "do what it takes" mentally, while respectfully collaborating with internal teams and external vendors.
Once the initiative comes to a close, your responsibilities will shift gears to: auditing load plans to find areas of improvement, doing analysis on ad hoc group initiatives, and supporting other team members on ensuring internal updates and data reports are completed in timely a fashion. participating in team meetings, and managing new vendor contracts.
