About this role
In this role, you will: • Lead the end-to-end design, layout, and operational launch of new Logistics programs, including inbound planning, internal material flow and warehousing, outbound transportation, and logistics engineering (packaging, systems, and industrial engineering).
• Serve as the senior logistics lead and primary liaison to a key international manufacturing partner, representing Logistics in onsite workshops, program steering meetings, and executive alignment sessions.
• Lead Logistics readiness across the full site lifecycle – from greenfield/brownfield facility build-out and build-location decisions through new-product launch and start of production (SOP).
• Develop a comprehensive logistics launch plan to drive cross-functional logistics readiness for program gate reviews, surfacing schedule, capacity, and material-flow risks early and driving them to closure.
• Manage a recurring cadence of onsite engagement with international manufacturing partner facilities, including technical workshops, kickoffs, and leadership reviews.
• Establish 5S, visual management, standard work, and inventory control processes tailored specifically for a high-turn, high-availability service environment.
• Collaborate with IT and Systems teams to specify requirements for Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and inventory tracking technologies across the network.
Qualifications • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, Engineering, Operations, or a related field.
• 12+ years of experience in logistics, industrial engineering, supply chain, or operations leadership within the automotive industry.
• Proven experience launching logistics operations for a greenfield or brownfield manufacturing site, from initial build-out through start of production (SOP).
• Experience launching new products or programs (NPI) in a complex manufacturing environment.
• Strong analytical and decision-support skills, including build-location trade studies, transportation cost modeling, and logistics infrastructure planning.
• Willingness and ability to travel as required.
Bonus Qualifications • Experience working with contract or co-development vehicle manufacturers.
• Experience with SAP, S/4HANA, or comparable ERP/logistics systems.
• APICS/ASCM certification (CPIM, CSCP, CLTD) or PMP.
• Experience in autonomous vehicle, robotics, or other advanced-technology manufacturing environments.
