Your Job

As a Transportation Specialist at Molex, you'll play a key role in how our products move across the globe, efficiently, compliantly, and with purpose. This is an opportunity for a logistics professional who enjoys owning transportation processes, working cross-functionally, and using data and insight to continuously improve how freight moves.

You'll support both day-to-day transportation execution and longer-term optimization, helping ensure shipments arrive on time, at the right cost, and in alignment with trade and customs requirements. Just as important, you'll be part of a team that values learning, collaboration, and meaningful contributions.

Our Team

You'll join a collaborative Supply Chain & Logistics team that works across Customer Service, Operations, Warehousing, Procurement, and global logistics partners. At Molex, transportation is fully integrated into the supply chain, not a standalone function.

We believe great results come from curious, empowered people who are supported to grow, encouraged to innovate, and focused on creating value for customers and teammates.

In our Principled Based Management culture, you'll be trusted to take ownership, share ideas, and grow your transportation expertise in a global environment.

• Support trade and customs-related requirements, including understanding bonded operations, validating FIRMS codes, and identifying gaps between customer information and shipping requirements
• Collaborate across teams and with external partners (carriers, vendors, customers) to coordinate shipments, resolve issues, and manage exceptions
• Analyze transportation and logistics data to identify trends, inefficiencies, and improvement opportunities (e.g., mode optimization, cost comparisons, routing effectiveness)
• Prepare reports and share insights that help the organization make informed transportation and supply chain decisions
• Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement, bringing forward ideas that improve service, cost, and operational effectiveness

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

• 2 or more years of experience in transportation, logistics, or supply chain operations
• Hands-on involvement coordinating freight, working with carriers, or managing shipping instructions
• Experience working with shipping documentation and ensuring compliance with transportation and trade requirements
• Experience managing multiple shipments, priorities, and stakeholders in a fast-paced environment
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative, team-oriented approach

What Will Put You Ahead

• Experience using SAP or another ERP/TMS to manage routing guides, shipping instructions, or master data (e.g., ship-to, plant, or customer codes)
• Exposure to international transportation, trade compliance, or customs-related processes
• Experience analyzing transportation costs, transit times, or carrier performance
• Familiarity with continuous improvement or data-driven problem solving in logistics
• Bachelors degree in any relevant field
• Professional working proficiency in English and Spanish, including the ability to speak, read, and write both languages in a business environment.
