- Partner cross-functionally with Operations, Transportation, Carrier Management, Planning, Product, Engineering, and Business teams to translate business needs and operational constraints into scalable solutions.
- Lead strategic initiatives from diagnosis through implementation, drive stakeholder alignment, and communicate recommendations and measurable business impact to senior leadership.
