We’re looking for a Logistics Manager who’s ready to take full ownership of our logistics, procurement, fleet, and facility operations. This is a high-impact role where your decisions shape how our entire company functions day-to-day.

If you enjoy designing smart workflows, negotiating with vendors, improving processes, and leading teams toward greater efficiency—this is the opportunity to make your mark.

Own vendor relationships, agreements, equipment selection, and purchasing

Optimize warehouse design, layout, inventory flow, and cost-saving processes

Oversee and maintain the logistics budget with a focus on efficiency

Fleet Management

Oversee acquisition, maintenance, and replacement of vehicles and trailers

Implement asset-tracking systems that boost visibility and reduce downtime

Ensure vehicles are properly set up, maintained, branded, and assigned

Manage fuel programs and service agreements

Drive fleet-related cost-savings and utilization improvements

Facility Operations

Ensure each facility supports operational performance and growth

Oversee maintenance, security, utilities, and safety compliance

Lead warehouse transitions, expansions, and relocations

Manage facility budgets and implement risk-mitigation plans

You’ll help create and drive KPIs such as:

Logistics cost savings and procurement efficiency

Fleet utilization, maintenance compliance, and cost-per-vehicle

Inventory accuracy, turnover, and restock performance

Space utilization and operational cost management

On-time staging, workflow improvements, and process optimization

You’re a proactive leader who enjoys solving problems, building systems, and bringing order to complexity. You have:

Experience in logistics, fleet, or operations management

Strong vendor-management and negotiation skills

A track record of improving processes and cutting costs

Excellent organizational and leadership ability

A love for building structures that help teams do their best work

This role gives you the unique opportunity to:

Build and refine the infrastructure that powers the entire company

Make strategic decisions with real influence and ownership

Work across multiple departments and see the impact of your work company-wide

Lead improvements that boost efficiency, reduce costs, and strengthen performance

If you're excited by the idea of elevating operations and creating systems that scale, we’d love to talk to you.
