Transportation Operations Manager

We’re seeking a Transportation Operations Manager to lead fulfillment and last-mile delivery across a national e-commerce network. This role oversees the full transportation ecosystem, from middle-mile logistics and carrier strategy to last-mile optimization and technology enablement.

The ideal candidate brings experience in transportation, logistics, or supply chain management, with a proven ability to negotiate carrier contracts, manage cost-performance tradeoffs, and scale high-volume e-commerce operations. You should be fluent in both parcel and on-demand delivery networks, familiar with transportation management systems (TMS), routing, and carrier integrations, and confident collaborating cross-functionally with Product and Engineering teams to define tools and dashboards that improve tracking, visibility, and efficiency.



What You’ll Do:

  • Oversee inbound (middle-mile) and outbound (last-mile) transportation operations across a multi-site network.
  • Build and execute carrier strategy — evaluating partners, negotiating contracts, and optimizing cost and performance.
  • Manage relationships with parcel and on-demand delivery providers, ensuring SLA compliance and a best-in-class delivery experience.
  • Analyze transportation data to identify trends, track KPIs, and implement continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Partner with Product, Engineering, and Finance to develop systems that improve visibility, tracking, and forecasting.
  • Drive innovation in delivery methods to reduce time-in-transit and support scalable fulfillment operations.

What You’ll Bring:

  • 6+ years in transportation, logistics, or supply chain management.
  • Proven success managing carrier contracts and optimizing performance and cost.
  • Strong understanding of fulfillment, middle-mile, and last-mile operations.
  • Data-driven, analytical mindset with excellent problem-solving skills.
  • Exceptional communication and relationship management abilities.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, Operations, or related field (advanced degree preferred).
