Manager, Logistics

About the Role: Logistics Manager (Carrier & Vendor Performance)

As a Logistics Manager specializing in Carrier & Vendor Performance at Veho, you will be the primary architect and auditor of our external transportation ecosystem. Reporting directly to the Director of Transportation, you will transition our logistics function from a reactive service to a proactive, performance-driven powerhouse.

Your mission is twofold: strategic sourcing of the best partners in the industry and the relentless management of vendor and carrier accountability. You will own the partner lifecycle-from the first RFP to the Monthly Business Review (MBR)-ensuring that our multi-complex transportation strategies are executed with precision, cost-efficiency, and reliability.

The Ideal Candidate

• 5+ years of hands-on experience in logistics, with a heavy emphasis on carrier procurement, vendor management, and contract negotiation.
• Performance Management Expert: Proven track record of developing comprehensive scorecards and managing underperforming partners through formal contract performance review.
• Strategic Thinker: Experience designing and implementing multi-complex transportation strategies that integrate various tiers of providers and service levels to optimize a national footprint.
• Negotiation Power: Expertise in sourcing, vetting, and high-stakes rate negotiations across a diverse array of service models and logistics vendors.
• Compliance Fluency: Deep understanding of DOT regulations, safety ratings, and insurance requirements (Cargo, GL, Auto) for both carriers and brokers.
• Analytical Rigor: Advanced skills in Google Sheets/Excel to perform "Deep Dives" into network-level data, vendor spend, and service trends.
• Leadership: Experience in leading and developing a team of specialists focused on network health.

What You'll Do

• Strategic Sourcing & Onboarding: Actively source, vet, and onboard a diverse portfolio of carriers, brokers, and logistics vendors. Build a "bench" of high-quality capacity to support Veho's rapid expansion.
• Execute Multi-Complex Transportation Strategies: Design and manage sophisticated routing and capacity plans that leverage diverse provider types to ensure seamless package flow across a high-growth network.
• Drive Vendor & Carrier Accountability: Design and implement a robust Performance Management Framework. Track and hold all partners accountable to specific KPIs, including On-Time Performance (OTP).
• Lead Strategic Business Reviews: Facilitate Monthly and Quarterly Business Reviews (MBRs/QBRs) with key vendors and carriers to discuss performance trends, address systemic service failures, and align on future growth.
• Network Optimization: Proactively identify "at-risk" segments within the transportation strategy. Perform root-cause analysis on service issues and implement timely resolutions, including re-sourcing capacity when a partner fails to meet standards.
• Manage Compliance & Risk: Oversee a rigorous vetting process (NDAs, RFIs, DOT safety scores) to ensure all partners consistently exceed our safety, security, and insurance requirements.
• Cost & Contract Management: Build a comprehensive partner database to support competitive bidding (RFPs). Ensure transportation optionality to drive down costs while maintaining high service reliability and performance standards.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Ground Ops, Finance, and Expansion teams to ensure vendor capabilities and carrier capacity align with real-time customer needs.
