Original job description
The Distribution Mobility Planner to support the planning, coordination, and execution of complex distribution and transportation operations. This role is responsible for synchronizing the movement of personnel, equipment, materials, and other critical assets across distribution networks to ensure timely, efficient, and cost-effective delivery.
The ideal candidate brings strong experience in mobility planning, transportation coordination, and logistics analysis, with the ability to adapt plans in dynamic operational environments. This position works closely with internal teams, carriers, field operations, and external stakeholders to develop executable movement plans, resolve constraints, and maintain visibility across the distribution lifecycle.
Key Responsibilities
- Coordinate end-to-end distribution and mobility planning to support deployment, redeployment, sustainment, and retrograde operations.
- Develop movement plans for self-deploying and lift-supported assets, including personnel, equipment, and cargo.
- Synchronize transportation activities across internal teams, external carriers, ports, terminals, and other logistics partners.
- Maintain situational awareness of available transportation capacity, lift capabilities, routing options, and infrastructure constraints.
- Continuously refine plans during execution to respond to changing operational requirements, delivery timelines, and network disruptions.
- Conduct feasibility assessments of transportation options, including internal fleet, common-user transportation, third-party logistics providers, and strategic lift resources.
- Identify movement constraints such as staging limitations, asset shortfalls, infrastructure bottlenecks, hazardous conditions, or bed down restrictions, and recommend mitigation actions.
- Use planning, modeling, simulation, and data analysis tools to optimize routing, throughput, and delivery sequencing.
- Support in-transit visibility by tracking personnel, cargo, and equipment throughout the transportation network and resolving delays or exceptions.
- Balance competing demands for distribution assets and develop deconfliction strategies aligned to operational priorities.
- Coordinate with planners, operations teams, and stakeholders to validate movement requirements, schedules, and execution data.
- Ensure timely delivery of logistics support to meet required delivery dates and service-level expectations.
- Prepare reports, dashboards, and planning updates for leadership and operational stakeholders.
- Support emergency response, surge operations, network recovery, and other high-tempo logistics initiatives as needed.
- Perform other duties as assigned.
