- Oversee inbound freight, outbound freight to marketplaces, and D2C operations in every region
- Build cross-border supply chains that do not exist today, including import and export flows, freight consolidation, and port operations

- Strong understanding of supply chain principles and strategy, including cross-border supply chains, import and export, and consolidation
- Experience leading global teams across multiple regions
- A record of taking supply chain from a narrow functional focus to a broader, business-oriented role, ideally at a company where supply chain is central to the business, such as a marketplace, large retailer, or ecommerce fulfillment company
- A results focus and a proactive, data-driven approach to solving problems
- The ability to simplify complex issues and communicate clearly with executives
What does high performance look like?
- Inbound freight, outbound freight, and D2C run reliably in every region while strategic projects move forward
- Transportation cost and service levels are measured by region and improve over time
- New cross-border lanes and consolidation efforts are launched on schedule and within budget
- Global teams are in place, clear on their goals, and performing
- Executives get concise, specific updates and can make decisions quickly
