Logistics Manager

Description

This is an opportunity to build something from the ground up—designing systems, processes, and KPIs for a business unit that will operate as its own standalone logistics entity in the near future.

• Manage budget, expenses, and vendor billing with a focus on improving ROI and operational efficiency.
• Oversee fleet management, including acquisition, maintenance, and optimization.
• Lead and mentor logistics personnel, including CDL drivers, a logistics supervisor, and a coordinator.
• Identify and mitigate logistics risks and supply chain disruptions through proactive planning and data-driven decision making.
• Partner cross-functionally with manufacturing, procurement, and project management teams to ensure seamless scheduling and delivery execution.
• Monitor and improve KPIs such as cost per mile, on-time delivery, and fleet utilization.
• Ensure compliance with all DOT, FMCSA, and safety regulations.
• Build operational processes and policies for a newly established logistics business unit.
• Manage all inbound and outbound shipments across the U.S., balancing internal fleet and third-party carrier utilization.
• Develop and execute a long-term logistics strategy that supports the company’s expansion and transition toward more self-performed freight operations.

Requirements

• Financial and analytical acumen with P&L or budget management responsibility.
• Proven ability to build or scale logistics operations rather than simply maintain existing ones.
• ERP and TMS proficiency; experience implementing systems or process improvements preferred.
• Experience managing both internal fleet operations and third-party logistics providers.
• Strong understanding of DOT/FMCSA compliance and fleet safety programs.
• 10+ years of logistics or transportation management experience, including fleet and driver oversight.
• Bachelor’s degree in Logistics, Supply Chain, Business, or related field.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and change management skills.
• Hands-on, adaptable, and comfortable working in a rapidly evolving environment.
