From Apple's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Imagine what you could do here! The people here at Apple don't just build products, they build the kind of wonder that's revolutionized entire industries. It's the diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do, from amazing technology to industry-leading environmental efforts. Join Apple, and help us leave the world better than we found it!
The AMR Delivery Exception Management (DEM) team protects Apple's products, customers, and bottom line after shipments leave our facilities. We find the defects behind delivery exceptions, losses, and damage, recover value through carrier claims, and prevent repeat issues before they reach the customer. We are looking for an experienced Logistics Analyst to help us move from resolving exceptions one case at a time to preventing them across the Americas network.
In this role, you will connect data across order, shipment, carrier, claims, and service systems to find where and why losses happen, size Apple's financial exposure, and drive scalable fixes with carriers and internal partners. You will also help shape a next-generation platform that automates investigation workflows and standardizes how exceptions are handled across our sites and carriers.
If you are energized by solving complex, ambiguous problems, enjoy following the data to the root cause, and want your work to directly reduce losses and protect customers, we'd love to hear from you!
Description
Analyze delivery exceptions, losses, damage, and theft across all routes to market to identify root causes, repeat patterns, and emerging risks.

Drive carrier claims and recovery performance, partnering with carriers to improve claim accuracy, resolution time, and recovery rates.
Partner with Product Security to identify high-value shipment risks, drive data-led loss investigations, and strengthen carrier vetting and freight security controls.

Serve as the team's authority on exception, loss, and claims KPIs, influencing internal teams and carriers to act when performance moves outside agreed SLAs.
Transition routine reporting and investigation steps to proactive, exception-based dashboards that give stakeholders self-serve visibility.
Use AI-assisted tools, including LLMs, GenAI assistants, and document and image analysis, to speed up investigations, review proofs of delivery and shipping documents, summarize findings, and surface patterns.
Help shape a next-generation exception management platform by defining business rules, data requirements, and integration needs, and by testing and validating new capabilities before launch.
Standardize exception and investigation processes across distribution centers, carriers, and channels so work is consistent, measurable, and scalable.
Lead exception and loss readiness for peak events such as New Product Introductions and Order By Deliver By.
