Customer Head of Operations (Logistics/Warehousing)

Description

Summary

As a Customer Head of Operations at ShipCalm, you will own the operational success of a portfolio of small to mid-sized brand partners. Reporting to the Head of Brand Operations, you will act as the internal advocate and performance lead for your accounts—driving execution across fulfillment, inventory, returns, integrations, and customer experience. 

This is a hands-on, cross-functional role that requires operational problem-solving, strategic alignment, and strong communication. You will coordinate across internal teams—including Warehouse (3PL), Tech, Accounting, and Brand Operations—to ensure issues are resolved quickly, goals are clearly translated into execution plans, and clients are positioned for long-term success.

The ideal candidate is an operational generalist with experience in logistics or fulfillment, comfortable in both fast-paced execution and client-facing strategy. You’re detail-oriented, proactive, and confident navigating between internal stakeholders and external partners.

ShipCalm is a third-party operations partner (3PO) redefining outsourced logistics by embedding directly into brand operations—not just shipping boxes, but solving upstream and downstream challenges. Learn more about us at our website: www.shipcalm.com.
