Global Logistics Manager

As a Manager of Global Logistics at MKS Instruments, you will partner with Supply Chain, Distribution, Global Trade Management, Customer Care, and other departments to manage domestic and international global logistics. Reporting to the Director of Global Logistics, you will oversee global transportation operations, carrier relationships, freight spend, and mode optimization to ensure cost-effective and reliable movement of goods.

Day-to-day, you will manage relationships with freight forwarders, parcel, LTL, and couriers, oversee carrier sourcing and rate management, and lead freight payment processes and audit programs to ensure billing accuracy and cost control. You will analyze transportation spend to identify savings opportunities and develop mode optimization strategies that balance cost, service, and transit time requirements.

Collaboration is key: you will work closely with procurement, planning, customer service, and operations teams to support transportation requirements, attend quarterly business reviews with carriers and logistics service providers, and support continuous improvement initiatives related to freight operations and transportation execution. The role involves evaluating network routing opportunities and driving transportation efficiency initiatives.

This position offers the opportunity to drive measurable cost savings and operational improvements across a global logistics network, with direct impact on carrier performance, KPI monitoring, and service reliability. The ideal candidate will bring strong analytical and financial acumen and a demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional logistics initiatives.
