Logistics as defined by our family, is: making breakfast tacos with the perfect ratio of fillings to hot sauce; landing corny jokes like the guy who posted bad dad jokes in his front lawn for passersby; and successfully coming up with any excuse to eat delicious food together. Our ideal Director of Supply Chain - Logistics would agree with this definition, and may even contribute the following specs: heading warehouse operations and order fulfillment for eCommerce and retail distribution; championing and leading your team to success; and optimizing freight strategy. Additional jokes about pallets (palettes, and paletes) are a bonus. If this sounds like you, our family would love to chat with you!
- Leadership and people management are your bread and butter er...chips and guac, chili and lime, or rice and beans.
- Like a clairvoyant fortune teller (or one especially impressive fortune cookie), you see all the details and the big picture, at times with limited information and resources. What s more, you use this foresight and vigilance to problem-solve!
- You communicate effectively verbally and in writing, like your favorite teacher from grade school. Only without the pointing stick, old-school projectors, and grape-scented markers.
- Friends and family don t call you Ole Hawk Eyes for nothing you ve got the ability to perform and execute accurately and swiftly in a detailed-oriented environment.
- You ve got excellent organizational and time management skills. If you could become an office supply, you d be a hybrid between an accordion binder and a portable hourglass.
- Financial Management is a part of your everyday routine, right up there with thermoses of coffee, the phrase packin and stackin, and funny delivery memes.
- Some people are born with an intense love for (or aversion to) pineapple on pizza, cilantro, and licorice just like you were born with a safety is non-negotiable mentality. It s a beloved part of your identity!
- Lead warehouse operations and order fulfillment for retail distributors, eCommerce, and wholesale, including inbound receipt, storage, inventory, outbound shipments, technology, parcel shipping rates, customer care (distributors), and related staffing.
- Identify and execute logistics strategic initiatives, including freight portion of P&L, technology, lane rate optimization, contracts, and relationship building.
- Institute metrics to establish baselines for KPIs to measure the business performance.
- Ensure government compliance as it relates to local, state, and federal laws.
- Own capacity analysis and execution for packaging (eCommerce and wholesale) and finished goods storage at Siete warehouses and 3PLs.
- Work closely with the Senior Director of Supply Chain to ensure warehousing and logistics plans are in alignment with supply chain strategy for meeting the growing business needs.
- Analyze warehouse and delivery opportunities and produce solutions to ensure continuous improvement for all areas.
- Develop annual and long-term plans, including vision, goals, and objectives related to fulfillment and logistics.
- Foster a culture of celebrating wins while striving for growth and excellence in delivering customer delight.
- Strategize methods for efficiencies and cost savings, including, but not limited to automation and process improvements.
- Define strategic initiatives related to Managed Transportation partners, oversee the implementation, and measure success.
- 8+ years of related experience
- 5+ years people management experience
- Food CPG experience strongly preferred
- Experience with a warehouse management system or other business operations system such as Fishbowl, SAP, NetSuite, or Oracle is a must. Experience with transportation management systems and dock scheduling software is a plus.
- Deep understanding of warehouse safety and OSHA laws; 30-hour OSHA Certification is a plus.
