Sr. Logistics Sourcing Analyst

Location: Guadalajara MX, or Mexico City, MX – Onsite 

Must have flexibility to work PST hours

Position Overview 

Reporting to the Senior Manager, Strategic Logistics, this role is a critical member of the North America Strategic Sourcing team supporting U.S. and Canada operations (95% U.S. volume). 

With the recent acquisitions, our logistics scope has expanded significantly — including warehouse extensions, growing domestic ramp-up production, increased 3PL complexity, and new sustainability initiatives. At the same time, we continue moving thousands of shipments weekly across the U.S. 

We are seeking a highly experienced logistics procurement professional who can independently lead carrier strategy, pricing negotiations, and contract management across transportation and warehousing. This is not a junior or operations-only role — it requires deep expertise in freight market dynamics, 3PL contracts, and commercial negotiation. 

The ideal candidate is a proactive problem-solver who thrives in ambiguity, can operate in a fast-scaling environment, and is comfortable leading weekly executive-level discussions with carriers while working U.S. Pacific time hours.

• Deliver measurable year-over-year cost savings. 

• Create quick-turn pricing estimates to support rapid business decisions. 

2. Contract Management & Commercial Governance 

• Draft, negotiate, and manage 3PL and carrier contracts. 

• Ensure clear rate structures, escalation clauses, service-level agreements, and performance penalties. 

• Proactively monitor market dynamics that impact rates (fuel trends, capacity cycles, seasonal pressures). 

• Lead renegotiations when market conditions shift. 

3. Carrier & 3PL Relationship Management 

• Lead weekly business reviews with carriers and account managers. 

• Escalate and resolve service disruptions in partnership with Operations. 

• Drive accountability on performance metrics, OTIF, cost control, and service quality. 

• Manage 3PL escalations and performance scorecards. 

4. Warehousing & Domestic Network Strategy

6. Analytics & Financial Modeling

• Develop dashboards (Excel / Power BI) to track spend, trends, and savings. 

• Provide fast, creative estimates when detailed data is not yet available.
