This may include occasional remote work, starting the day with morning meetings from home before heading to the office, or leaving earlier when needed to accommodate family commitments.

About the role

We are looking for a high-impact logistics professional who thrives in rapidly evolving environments where speed, ownership, and communication are critical. The Logistics Manager will own the end-to-end global movement of time-sensitive goods, from execution to vendor strategy.

The Logistics Manager will execute immediate shipments with a strong sense of urgency, and in parallel build a collaborative foundation to enable future successes. The ideal candidate is ready to step into a highly visible, impactful, and fluid role to cut through uncertainty and deliver clear results.

  • Execute immediate international goods movements including vehicles, prototype hardware, test equipment, and time-critical components
  • Create freight & logistics partnership strategies to ensure on-time deliveries
  • Advise leadership and key stakeholders on logistics and supply chain strategies
  • Reduce the cost of goods movement
  • Manage internally and externally by influence
  • Lead process improvement projects to maximize efficiency of impact
We’re looking for someone who has:
  • 10+ years in international logistics, freight, or a similar field
  • Strong sense of urgency and a strategic mindset
  • Insatiable curiosity and a keen attention to detail
  • Highly efficient executive-level communication skills
  • Exceptional negotiation skills
  • Ability to cut through ambiguity to make concrete and sound decisions
  • Thorough understanding of complex trade compliance processes and risks
  • Ability to rapidly prioritize and execute in a fast-paced environment
  • Bachelor’s Degree in supply chain management, logistics, finance, business, or related field
Nice to have:
  • MBA or advanced degree in finance, business, or engineering
  • Experience with the Google suite of tools (e.g. Google Sheets, Google Docs)
  • Experience using Slack on a professional level
  • Experience working in a rapidly evolving startup environment
  • Experience with vehicle or hardware logistics (automotive, aerospace, robotics, defense)
  • Familiarity with trade programs (ATA Carnet, temporary import, export controls)
  • Experience building logistics processes in a scaling organization
  • Advanced analytics or cost modeling experience
