Directors of transportation strategize, manage, and continually refine the transportation operations of a company. They may work in the logistics, manufacturing, or transportation network industry, but its becoming increasingly common for them to be in retail, especially with the rise of e-commerce. Regardless of what kind of vehicles they handle, their baseline goal is to supervise teams to implement all shipments, deliveries, or rides correctly, with maximum efficiency. Since this is a high-ranking position, directors of transportation bear significant responsibility; they must be able to thrive in an intense, results-driven environment.
