Be part of an amazing story

Macy’s is more than just a store. We’re a story. One that’s captured the hearts and minds of America for more than 160 years. A story about innovations and traditions…about inspiring stores and irresistible products…about the excitement of the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks, and the wonder of the Thanksgiving Day Parade. We’ve been part of memorable moments and milestones for countless customers and colleagues. Those stories are part of what makes this such a special place to work.

Operational Excellence

• Own day-to-day delivery performance across WMS/TMS, national carrier and 3PL partners, and middle/last-mile operations.

• Align transportation plans with digital demand, merchandising priorities, fulfillment constraints, and store operations.

Analytics & Optimization

• Use analytics to uncover savings, speed gains, and CX improvements; optimize carrier mix, mode and zone strategies, service levels, and rate structures.

• Build strong relationships with technology, digital, finance, stores, fulfillment centers, and carrier partners.
• Champion a culture of accountability, innovation, and customer first decision making.
• Foster an environment of acceptance and respect that strengthens relationships, and ensures authentic connections with colleagues, customers, and communities.
• In addition to the essential duties mentioned above, other duties may be assigned.

• Able to work a flexible schedule, including evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed.
• Comfortable navigating a fast paced environment with evolving priorities.
• Regularly required to sit, talk, hear; use hands/fingers to touch, handle, and feel. Occasionally required to move about the workplace and reach with hands and arms. Requires close vision.
