Job Description

High-level leadership role acting as the business owner of the logistics function, responsible for overall performance, strategy, and execution across inbound/outbound logistics, transportation, warehouses, and service levels across multiple locations.


This role oversees approximately 60 warehouse/shop employees and 25 office employees, including managers, supervisors, and senior team members.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of logistics leadership experience in manufacturing, distribution, or supply chain

• Proven experience leading managers/supervisors and teams of 75+ employees

• Strong knowledge of transportation, warehousing, and inbound/outbound freight

• Experience managing carriers and third-party logistics partners

• Strong KPI, systems (WMS/TMS/ERP), and data-driven decision-making skills

• Proven record of improving cost, service levels, and operational performance


Senior executive-level role requiring prior experience owning a logistics function at scale and leading leaders in a high-volume operation.


Schedule: Monday–Thursday 8AM–5PM, Friday 8AM–1PM.
