Description
We are seeking a Director of Transportation, North America to own Pattern's transportation function across North America. This role leads inbound freight, outbound freight, and direct-to-consumer (D2C) shipping, and sets the strategy for how product moves between Pattern's buildings, carriers, and marketplaces, including Amazon.
Responsibilities:
- Own the transportation function for North America, covering inbound freight, outbound freight, and D2C
- Lead a team of three direct reports: one for inbound freight, one for outbound freight, and one for D2C
- Set the strategy for moving product from Pattern's buildings to Amazon and other destinations as quickly and cost-effectively as possible
- Manage relationships with Amazon, parcel carriers, freight carriers, and other logistics partners
- Own North America transportation budgets and spend, split roughly equally between freight and D2C, and track cost and service performance with data
- Partner with warehousing and inventory management leaders so goods keep moving between locations
- Investigate problems, simplify them, and bring clear recommendations to the VP of Supply Chain/Transportation and other executives
Requirements:
- Experience in one or two of inbound freight, outbound freight, and D2C, including working with parcel carriers
- Supply chain transportation experience that goes beyond managing a dock: setting strategy for how goods move between locations, and partnering with carriers and marketplaces to do it
- Experience leading a team in transportation
- Freight experience is valued, but deep freight specialization is not required, because Pattern uses Amazon Freight for much of its freight
- A results focus and a proactive, data-driven approach to investigating and solving problems
- The ability to understand complexity, simplify it, and communicate clearly with executives
Benefits:
- Unlimited PTO
- Paid Holidays
- Onsite Fitness Center
