- Serve as the organization's import-compliance authority, ensuring all programs remain audit-ready under FDA, USDA, FSVP, and FSMA rules.
- Own day-to-day performance of transportation partners, using real-time dashboards and root-cause analysis to drive on-time departures, container visibility, and demurrage-free releases.
- Direct customs programs-HTS classification, first-sale valuation, drawback, and periodic internal audits-to keep landed costs in check.
- Benchmark internal freight spends against public indices; surface savings opportunities and quickly renegotiate where gaps appear.
- Collaborate with buying, finance, and DC teams to model total-landed-cost scenarios and optimize port pairings and dray strategies.
- Build and mentor a nimble, high-performing import logistics team grounded in data-driven decision making.
- Develop a multi-year roadmap of process automations and visibility-tech integrations that will scale with double-digit volume growth.
- Present monthly KPI packs to senior leadership, highlighting cost-per-container trends, variance drivers, and corrective actions.
- Bachelor's in Supply Chain, Engineering, Business, or related discipline.
- 5+ years managing international logistics (ocean import focus) for food, CPG, or other high-velocity distribution environments.
- Demonstrated success negotiating carrier contracts that deliver year-over-year savings.
- Working knowledge of customs brokerage, FTAs, duty-reduction programs, and U.S. import regulations.
- Advanced analytical skills-Excel, BI tools, or similar-and a knack for translating numbers into operational wins.
- Eligible to work in a hybrid schedule: 2-3 days on-site in Queens, remainder remote.
