** Manager, Transportation Financial Performance at a Glance....
** The Manager, Transportation Financial Performance is the key link between Transportation Operations and Logistics Finance. This role sits within the Financial Performance pillar and is responsible for deepening the financial partnership with Transportation Ops leaders, translating operational activity into financial KPI visibility, and helping the business understand the cost drivers behind its results.

The role reports to the Sr. Manager, Logistics Financial Performance and works in close collaboration with the Logistics FP&A team, providing the operational context and inputs that feed the monthly close, forecast, and BU conversations.

This is not a traditional finance role. The ideal candidate is someone who is deeply fluent in how Transportation operations work and who can translate that knowledge into financial language that drives decisions and action plans with Operations Leadership.#
