• Ensure all pilot and test missions comply with Department of Transportation (DOT) and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations, as well as state-specific autonomous vehicle (AV) testing and deployment mandates. • Establish and maintain standard operating procedures for freight disruptions, weather delays, and operational exceptions, ensuring minimal impact on customer supply chains. • Identify operational bottlenecks and implement process improvements to lower unnecessary dwell time and delays on route. • Oversee day-to-day freight movement for commercial pilot partners, ensuring delivery SLA is met and seamless hub-to-hub operations achieved. • Act as a primary operational point of contact for pilot customers. Conduct regular operational reviews, provide performance metrics, and translate customer feedback into operational workflows. • Partner with the product and engineering teams to provide operational feedback, helping to shape the internal dispatching tools, driver scheduling, asset and service tracking, and freight management software.

• Sales, inventory and operational planning (SIOP) • Manage OEMs to include pricing negotiations, SLA performance and market share • Forecast collaboration between supply chain, sales, marketing, product and finance • De-risk supply disruptions & delays • Minimize excess and obsolete inventory

• Key role across the entire process chain – from raw material sourcing to the finished product • Manage and coordinate the complete supply chain for nutritional supplements • Monitor demand, inventory levels, and delivery deadlines • Regular alignment with manufacturers on production quantities, forecasts, and capacities • Plan procurement of raw materials and packaging to identify demand spikes and potential bottlenecks early • Oversee production and delivery processes with respect to quality, cost, and timing • Optimize inventory levels and prevent supply shortages • Negotiate supply terms, prices, and service levels

• PO Routing & Prep-Center Operations: Build out and operate the system that routes each purchase order to the best of our four nationwide prep centers, factoring in vendor ship-from location, cost, speed, and capacity. • Prep-center communication: Manage all communication and file uploads with our four prep centers — shipping plans, packing/prep instructions, box content files, and follow-ups. • Inbound coordination: Coordinate inbound shipments from vendors who ship from different locations across the country, ensuring each PO lands at the right facility with complete and accurate documentation. • Freight & Vendor Coordination: Communicate directly with freight brokers to arrange, track, and troubleshoot shipments between vendors and prep centers. • Supplier comms: Communicate directly with key suppliers — including Soccer Zone and GMA Sales — on order logistics, ship-from details, and timing. • Reconciliation: Own and improve freight invoice reconciliation — auditing carrier-billed amounts against quoted rates, flagging discrepancies, and tightening the process so it runs cleaner and more automatically over time. • Systems & Automation: Continuously look for ways to automate, streamline, and remove manual steps from every workflow you touch. Document what you build so it is repeatable. • Collaborative build: Partner directly with the founder to connect existing infrastructure into a unified, working routing-and-reconciliation system. Much of the groundwork is built — this is about integration and operation, not starting from zero.
