Director of Supply Chain - Logistics
Company: Siete Family Foods
Location: Austin
Posted on: January 26, 2023
Job Description:
"Logistics" as defined by our family, is: making breakfast tacos
with the perfect ratio of fillings to hot sauce; landing corny
jokes like the guy who posted bad dad jokes in his front lawn for
passersby; and successfully coming up with any excuse to eat
delicious food together. Our ideal Director of Supply Chain -
Logistics would agree with this definition, and may even contribute
the following specs: heading warehouse operations and order
fulfillment for eCommerce and retail distribution; championing and
leading your team to success; and optimizing freight strategy.
Additional jokes about pallets (palettes, and paletes) are a bonus.
If this sounds like you, our family would love to chat with
you!About you:
- Leadership and people management are your bread and
butter-er...chips and guac, chili and lime, or rice and beans.
- Like a clairvoyant fortune teller (or one especially impressive
fortune cookie), you see all the details and the big picture, at
times with limited information and resources. What's more, you use
this foresight and vigilance to problem-solve!
- You communicate effectively verbally and in writing, like your
favorite teacher from grade school. Only without the pointing
stick, old-school projectors, and grape-scented markers.
- Friends and family don't call you "Ole Hawk Eyes" for
nothing-you've got the ability to perform and execute accurately
and swiftly in a detailed-oriented environment.
- You've got excellent organizational and time management skills.
If you could become an office supply, you'd be a hybrid between an
accordion binder and a portable hourglass.
- Financial Management is a part of your everyday routine, right
up there with thermoses of coffee, the phrase "packin' and
stackin,'" and funny delivery memes.
- Some people are born with an intense love for (or aversion to)
pineapple on pizza, cilantro, and licorice just like you were born
with a "safety is non-negotiable" mentality. It's a beloved part of
your identity!What you will do:
- Lead warehouse operations and order fulfillment for retail
distributors, eCommerce, and wholesale, including inbound receipt,
storage, inventory, outbound shipments, technology, parcel shipping
rates, customer care (distributors), and related staffing.
- Identify and execute logistics strategic initiatives, including

contracts, and relationship building.

the business performance.
- Ensure government compliance as it relates to local, state, and
federal laws.
- Own capacity analysis and execution for packaging (eCommerce
and wholesale) and finished goods storage at Siete warehouses and
3PLs.
- Work closely with the Senior Director of Supply Chain to ensure
warehousing and logistics plans are in alignment with supply chain
strategy for meeting the growing business needs.
- Analyze warehouse and delivery opportunities and produce
solutions to ensure continuous improvement for all areas.
- Develop annual and long-term plans, including vision, goals,
and objectives related to fulfillment and logistics.
- Foster a culture of celebrating wins while striving for growth
and excellence in delivering customer delight.
- Strategize methods for efficiencies and cost savings,

improvements.
