• Assist in carrier selection, trade compliance coordination, and documentation for international shipments.
• Ensure timely, cost-effective transportation aligned with program requirements and build schedules.
• Lead end-to-end logistics coordination for showplanes and demo aircraft, partnering closely with the marketing and events teams.
• Plan transport schedules, packaging, permits, customs documentation, and site delivery for trade shows, airshows, and promotional events.
• Serve as point of contact for transportation vendors and third-party logistics providers supporting showplane activity.
• Continue rollout and data maintenance of the PFEP program to optimize part storage, presentation, and delivery to the point of use.
• Work with cross-functional teams to standardize containerization, part handling instructions, and material flow mapping.
• Drive part-level logistics improvements tied to inventory accuracy and flow efficiency.
• Assist with tracking and analyzing logistics costs across modes (freight, packaging, storage).
• Support monthly and quarterly logistics forecasting and budgeting processes.
• Identify cost-saving opportunities through mode optimization, consolidation, or packaging improvement.
• Support the development and management of department KPI metrics.
• Travel may be required but on an infrequent basis.

What You Need:

• Strong understanding of packaging standards, transportation modes, and international shipping practices.
• Experience coordinating AOG or time-critical shipments is a strong plus.
