- Develop and implement scalable systems, SOPs, and operational frameworks to support rapid company growth.
- Analyze operational data to identify trends, solve inefficiencies, and drive measurable improvements in cost, service, and productivity.
- Lead, mentor, and develop operations staff to build a high-performance team culture.
- Serve as a senior point of contact for key carriers, vendors, and enterprise-level partners.
- Collaborate with executive leadership on long-term strategic planning, budgeting, and operational initiatives.
- Ensure compliance with industry standards, safety regulations, and customer requirements.
Qualifications:
- 5+ years of senior-level experience in logistics operations, transportation management, or supply chain leadership.
- Proven success overseeing multi-modal freight operations, routing strategies, or large-scale transportation networks.
- Strong analytical mindset with the ability to interpret data and build operational improvements around it.
- Experience developing SOPs, optimizing processes, and scaling teams or departments.
- Excellent leadership, communication, and relationship-management skills.
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment requiring adaptability and strategic thinking.
What We Offer:
- Significant career growth opportunities within a rapidly scaling organization.
- A leadership seat where your decisions directly influence company-wide operations and long-term success.
- Competitive executive compensation package (salary + performance bonuses + growth incentives).
- Mentorship, team support, and autonomy to build and refine operational systems.
- A collaborative, forward-thinking culture that values transparency, innovation, and ownership.
