We're looking for a Transportation Program Manager 2 to own the development, deployment, and continuous optimization of Last-Mile delivery programs across our omni-channel supply chain network.

In this role, you'll be responsible for driving end-to-end delivery of tools, processes, and program enhancements that improve how orders move from Fulfillment Centers and Stores to customers' doorsteps - balancing speed, service, cost, and operational efficiency. You'll partner closely with Fulfillment Center Operations, Stores, Last-Mile program management teams, and third-party carrier partners to translate customer and operational needs into scalable solutions and ensure successful adoption across the network.

This is a highly cross-functional role that requires strong program execution, operational understanding, and data-informed decision-making. Success in this role requires comfort operating in ambiguity, aligning stakeholders on trade-offs, and consistently delivering measurable outcomes in a fast-paced environment.

This role is offered as hybrid in Seattle, WA. Candidates must be available to work in office at the Nordstrom corporate headquarters a minimum of 4 days/week to be considered for this position.

• Coordinate dependencies, manage risks, and ensure alignment across Fulfillment Center, Store, and carrier initiatives
• Continuously identify opportunities to streamline operations, drive adoption and change management for new tools and processes, and enhance the Last-Mile customer experience
