    Director of Supply - Birmingham, United States - PeopleSuite

    Default job background
    Description
    Scope of Position

    The Director of Supply and Logistics Optimization role spearheads the transformation and modernization of fleet planning and execution within the Company. This role is pivotal in implementing a unified transportation management platform, or "logistics control tower," to centralize fleet route planning, dispatch, and driver management. By improving fleet operating efficiency and standardizing processes across the board, the director aims to significantly decrease the operating cost per pound to collect donations. This responsibility extends to overseeing all transportation operations activities, including the day-to-day optimization of the fleet, managing transportation exceptions, and enhancing the overall cost efficiency, performance, and safety of the fleet to drive profits. Regular communication with stakeholders about the fleet's performance and expenses through reports and dashboards is also a critical function of this role, ensuring transparency and alignment with business objectives.

    The Director of Supply and Logistics Optimization will take charge of developing a high-performing team, including drivers, dispatchers, route planners/business analysts, and transportation management personnel, to cultivate a culture focused on efficiency and ongoing improvement. This leadership role encompasses deploying and overseeing cutting-edge transportation management technologies, such as Geotab and Route4Me, to centralize routing activities, enhance route efficiency by minimizing unnecessary travel, reduce fuel expenditure, and optimize truck and driver utilization. The director will utilize fleet telematics data to evaluate route productivity and manage the control tower team, ensuring adept fleet dispatch, schedule planning, and route updates to cater to the fluctuating demands of the Company's operations. Additionally, this position involves strategic oversight of the donation supply chain by monitoring network inventories and production levels to balance supply with demand effectively and coordinating the routing of both scheduled and immediate transportation orders, thus ensuring the strategic planning of operations over both short and long terms.

    Reporting Relationship

    Reports directly to the VP of Supply Growth and Logistics. This role will oversee a team of 165, including the Manager of Transportation, Dispatchers, Logistics Planner, four Area Donations & Logistics Managers (and the Drivers, Helpers, and Donation Attendants that report to them).
