About Short Term Volume Planner, Rural Delivery Volume Planning (East)

  Description

  This role is based out of Seattle, Phoenix, or Nashville.

  Are you looking to be an owner in the planning of one of the fastest growing last mile providers for Amazon? This role is focused on the volume flow via parcel attainment and jurisdiction area with Heavy Bulky, Super Rural, and Hub for Rural Super Rural (RSR).

  What is RSR?

  Rural Super Rural (RSR) is an emerging organization that executes delivery of small parcel and heavy/bulky packages in rural communities across North America. We merge multiple service types to enhance the customer experience in communities which we don't currently service including scheduled delivery of Heavy/ bulky freight and customer facing services to accept customer returns.

  The Short Term Planning Supply Chain Manager is responsible for collecting critical business inputs from downstream partners on On the Road (OTR) and Under the Roof (UTR) capacities to deliver a STP plan during a weekly 3-week horizon cycle. This role will be responsible for maximizing station outputs, ensuring strict planning accuracy, and balancing upstream volume attainment and share of all Amazon parcels in the service area. They will be responsible for multiple regions and sites across North America and will interface with multi Level Leadership to drive planning success and triage sites which are underperforming. They will closely work with North America Transportation and Supply Chain stakeholders to balance volume across their territories and work to identify and solve volume flow issues related to capacity, middle mile connections, and configuration errors. The STP Planner will drive last mile volume share between Amazon FLEX and Delivery Service Providers to precisely estimate the shipments per route and delivery performance using historical trend analytics and future forecasting models. The success of the sites within the network depends on the STP planner to ensure costs and capacity are optimized to produce a quality experience for internal and external Amazon stakeholders.

  This role will oversee the East Region of RSR's Core volume and will specifically manage on the road and under the roof staffing to meet available volume at a station level and will perform intra-week adjustments to preserve cost while creating a robust communication strategy to execute adjustments.
