Role Description: 

The Manager, Transportation Systems at ShipBob will be responsible for developing and executing a network configuration strategy that will influence the outcomes of millions of shipments and the largest cost center in our P&L. This role will work closely with Transportation Procurement, Finance, Forecasting, Operations, Network Strategy, and Product/Tech teams to ensure that every package flows through an “optimal” path that meets customer expectations while minimizing cost.

• Partner closely with Forecasting and Network Strategy to create aligned volume plans that meet our cost and quality goals.  
• Support carrier and middle mile lane launches through the development and publication of robust, cross functional plans.  
• Develop and maintain a “single source of truth” for key configuration inputs including transit times, critical pull times, operating clocks, and capacity configurations.  
• Own reporting tied to carrier volume share actuals versus plan, reasons for lost attainment by optimal carriers, and volume caps for under-performing carriers by ZIP5.  
• Partner with Product and Technology teams to improve order allocation and carrier assignment as well as create new decision dimensions/criteria that improve customer experience or reduce cost.   
• Other duties/responsibilities as necessary. 

What you’ll bring to the table: 

• Bachelor’s Degree in Logistics/Supply Chain, Engineering, or Business Management. 
• 3+ years in Information Systems / Business Analyst / Analytics roles in a logistics or transportation organization 
• Strong data management and modelling skills (Excel, SQL, Python) 
• Direct experience with transportation technology and volume planning 
• 3+ years of experience working with various cross functional teams locally and globally. 
• Project management experience in the development, implementation, and management of various size projects.
