Logistics Specialist at Uber Freight in Charlotte, NC 28208, United States

Job description

• Uber Freight is looking for a Logistics Specialist to join our Cross Dock Center of Excellence. This isn't just about moving freight; it’s about mastering the complexity of modern cross-dock logistics. You will be the architect of efficient transportation and facility flow strategies, leveraging cutting-edge technology to ensure high-stakes shipments maintain strict FIFO compliance, reach their destinations on time, and help mitigate impacts to the customer's budget.
• If you thrive in a fast-paced environment where your decisions directly impact the bottom line, facility throughput, and the customer experience, this is the place to build your career.

Responsibilities

• Master the Cycle: Navigate the full lifecycle of an order—from inbound load building to outbound tendering—using our advanced TMS and collaborating seamlessly with WMS platforms to maximize peak facility potential.
• FIFO & Freight Flow Ownership: Take complete ownership of freight planning through the cross-dock facility, ensuring all inbound and outbound shipments are strictly planned and executed based on FIFO (First-In, First-Out) principles to maintain optimal throughput and avoid dwell times.
• Strategic Sourcing & Scheduling: Build powerhouse relationships with customer-selected carriers. Leverage pre-planned static routes and select the lowest-cost, most efficient providers from participating carriers, ensuring dock schedules align for continuous delivery.
• Data-Driven Problem Solving: Proactively identify performance trends, resolve shipment errors, and prevent dock bottlenecks. Ensure customer freight visibility by managing ASN/EDI data flows, as well as CSV shipment file uploads for non-EDI information.
• Act as an Advisor: Train new users on our systems (TMS/WMS interactions) and document standard operating procedures that set the gold standard for cross-dock operational excellence.
• Collaborative Resolution: Serve as the critical link between shippers, receivers, facility operators, and carriers to resolve complex transloading and logistical challenges with professional poise.

Requirements

• High school diploma or GED equivalent.
• 2+ years of relevant experience in transportation, logistics, or cross-dock operations (A Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain or a related field may be considered in lieu of experience).
• Foundational working knowledge of Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and inventory flow principles, including FIFO.
• Intermediate proficiency with Google Workspace or Microsoft Office Suite.
• Bachelor’s degree in Transportation, Logistics, or Supply Chain Management.
• 3+ years of deep experience in the logistics industry, with specific experience in a cross-dock or fast-paced transload facility.
• Proven ability to collaborate between TMS and WMS systems to drive operational alignment.
• Analytical Mindset: Familiarity with BI and Tableau reporting to turn data into actionable insights for facility and freight performance.
