Operating in over 200 countries, PepsiCo employs a diverse workforce united by a commitment to Perform with Purpose. This philosophy drives sustainable growth, innovation, and excellence.

As a Delivery Team Lead in Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, you'll join this dynamic team, contributing to the world's largest portfolio of billion-dollar brands. PepsiCo values what makes you unique, fostering an inclusive environment where individuals and teams thrive.

Role Overview

The Delivery Team Lead position at PepsiCo's facilities in Coraopolis and Youngwood, Pennsylvania, is ideal for results-driven leaders passionate about logistics and customer service. In this full-time role, you'll oversee a team of 10-15 CDL-certified delivery drivers in a fast-paced direct store delivery (DSD) environment. Your mission: ensure timely, accurate deliveries to key customers while upholding the highest safety and service standards. With a salary range of $59,400 to $92,600 USD annually, plus a 10% performance bonus paid quarterly, this role offers competitive compensation.
