TaylorMadeGolf

Logistics Analyst

Carlsbad, California Full time

Sun Day Red operates as an independent brand with a global footprint spanning multiple manufacturing origins, retail and wholesale distribution channels, and distinct compliance obligations from TaylorMade Golf. As the brand scales, logistics complexity across inbound freight, customs compliance, and financial reporting cannot be absorbed by shared resources without measurable service risk. This role exists to own that complexity — bringing structure, accuracy, and proactive management to the full logistics lifecycle as Sun Day Red grows.

Essential Functions and Key Responsibilities:

  • Coordinate shipments from third-party factory and distribution locations across multiple countries, managing freight forwarder relationships, booking instructions, and documentation requirements for new distributors and customers as the brand expands its supply base.
  • Own day-to-day visibility of inbound, outbound, and third-party movements, serving as the internal point of contact for status updates across merchandising, sales, and operations teams.
  • Proactively identify and resolve shipment delays, coordinating with brokers, carriers, and internal stakeholders to minimize impact and protect OTTR/OTTP.
  • Apply accurate HTS classifications for all imported product categories (US and Canada), coordinate with customs brokers, and maintain a classification database to ensure consistency and auditability across entries.
  • Develop and distribute monthly inbound and outbound freight cost reports, tracking spend by lane, carrier, mode, and business unit; identify cost reduction opportunities and support accrual and budget forecasting processes.
  • Manage COO documentation across a multi-origin supply base, including supplier certifications and FTA eligibility; coordinate with customs brokers on entry review, support post-summary correction processes, and maintain records to support any CBP audit or inquiry.
  • Calculate total landed cost by SKU and product category, supporting sourcing decisions and cost modeling as the brand evaluates new origin countries, suppliers, or Incoterms structures.
  • Maintain scorecards for key carriers and logistics providers; support rate negotiations and RFQ processes; escalate performance issues and manage corrective action plans to protect service levels as volume scales.
  • Identify and pursue duty drawback opportunities on eligible imported goods that are subsequently exported; maintain transaction records, entry data, and export documentation required to support claims; coordinate with customs brokers or drawback specialists to file accurately and on time.
  • Performs other related duties and assignments as required.

Knowledge and Skills Requirements:

  • Strong working knowledge of international freight operations, including ocean FCL/LCL, air freight, and domestic transportation modes.
  • Practical experience with HTS classification, country of origin rules, and customs compliance processes, including FTA eligibility and post-entry corrections.
  • Proficiency in freight cost analysis and landed cost modeling; comfortable building and maintaining reporting in Excel (lookups, pivots, basic modeling).
  • Organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple shipments, deadlines, and compliance requirements simultaneously.
  • A proactive, problem-solving mindset — you surface issues early, communicate clearly across teams, and drive resolution without waiting to be asked.
  • Experience with TMS, ERP, or customs broker portals a plus; familiarity with ACE, AES/EEI, or CBP processes preferred.

Education, Work Experience, and Professional Certifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain, Business, International Trade, or a related field preferred; equivalent experience considered.
  • 3–5 years of experience in international logistics, trade compliance, or freight operations, with demonstrated exposure to customs processes and multi-origin supply chains.
  • Experience supporting or working alongside a growing brand, startup logistics function, or independent business unit is a plus.

Work Environment / Physical Requirements:

  • Normal office conditions with extensive computer and phone usage.
  • Ability to work extended hours as necessary.
  • Able to work efficiently and accurately in an atmosphere of frequent interruption.
  • Light physical effort equal to frequent lifting or moving of lightweight materials.
  • Frequent travel may be required.
