The North America Inbound Logistics Coordinator will own the inbound freight process from origin to delivery — shipment visibility, booking exceptions, carrier coordination, and cost analysis across air, ocean, and domestic modes. This role sits at the intersection of logistics execution and supply chain planning, and your work directly determines inventory availability, landed cost, and on-time delivery. You'll operate within the broader TaylorMade and Sun Day Red supply chain network, partnering across brands to drive shared logistics performance.
Essential Functions and Key Responsibilities:
- Own end-to-end visibility of international inbound shipments across all North American distribution centers, delivering timely, accurate status to planning and buying teams to protect inventory availability.
- Manage booking exceptions with urgency — optimize container utilization, determine LCL vs. FCL, and make air conversion calls when service levels are at risk.
- Coordinate daily inbound delivery schedules and work directly with air and ocean carriers to recover freight and minimize disruption.
- Anticipate peak volume demands and communicate capacity forecasts to logistics partners early enough to secure space before constraints emerge.
- Own freight cost per unit by category — maintaining YTD actuals and a rolling forward forecast that gives Supply Chain Finance clean, decision-ready data.
- Develop and maintain routing guides and Global Shipping Instructions, ensuring suppliers have clear, current standards to execute against.
- Provide regular reporting on landed cost, on-time delivery, transit time, and booking status — keeping purchasing, planning, receiving, and assembly aligned and ahead of issues.
- Continuously challenge the status quo — identify waste, tighten handoffs, and bring forward insights that improve service levels without sacrificing cost discipline.
- Partner across TaylorMade and Sun Day Red supply chain teams to align on shared logistics standards, carrier relationships, and performance goals.

- Practical understanding of transportation modes, Incoterms, and customs documentation.

History: In the spring of 1979 a golf equipment salesman named Gary Adams took out a $24,000 loan on his home and founded the TaylorMade Golf Company. He rented a 6,000 square-foot building that at one time housed a television assembly plant. Counting him, there were three employees and a single, innovative product: a 12-degree driver cast of stainless steel. This new metalwood looked and sounded different from a wooden wood, and most important, it performed differently. The clubhead's perimeter-weighting offered greater forgiveness on mis-hits, while the lower center of gravity made it easier to launch the ball in the air. Adams, the son of a golf professional, was adamant that TaylorMade clubs maintain ties to what true golfers perceived an authentic golf club should look and feel like. They were committed to combining innovation with authenticity, to always be passionate about the game, and pledged to be competitive - to work hard to establish itself and grow. These four tenets would take them far. Since the creation of the first metalwood in 1979, the TaylorMade Golf Company has established a legacy of breaking from tradition to reach new thresholds of performance.
