Sr Buyer - Logistics

🚚 Not All Procurement Roles Move Millions of Dollars. This One Moves an Entire Supply Chain.

A leading consumer products company is undergoing a major transformation, and we're looking for a Senior Buyer, Logistics to help shape what comes next.

This isn't a role where you'll simply manage vendors and process contracts. You'll sit at the center of North America's logistics network, influencing freight strategy, carrier performance, supplier relationships, and transportation spend across a complex and evolving operation.

If you enjoy negotiating six-figure transportation agreements, finding savings hidden in freight data, and being the person everyone calls when a supply chain challenge needs solving, keep reading.

What You'll Own

• Lead transportation sourcing and logistics procurement initiatives across North America
• Negotiate carrier, warehousing, and 3PL agreements that directly impact the bottom line
• Drive cost savings through data, analytics, and supplier performance management
• Partner with Supply Chain, Operations, Customer Service, Finance, and Procurement leaders to optimize logistics strategy
• Evaluate and improve freight networks, transportation modes, and service performance
• Build strong supplier relationships while holding partners accountable to results
• Help lead logistics transformation initiatives during a pivotal period of business growth

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

✅ High visibility with executive leadership

✅ Ability to influence strategy, not just execute it

✅ Backed by significant investment and business growth initiatives

✅ Opportunity to leave a lasting impact on transportation and supply chain performance

✅ Collaborative culture that values ideas, ownership, and results
