 Who We’re Looking For

A true logistics veteran. Someone who’s run LTL and FTL operations, built warehousing strategies, negotiated ocean and air freight contracts, navigated customs clearance, and sat across the table from C-suite clients to close major deals.

• Strong network of carrier and vendor relationships (domestic & international)
• A “lead by example” mindset with the ability to mentor, manage, and motivate
• Tech-savvy with logistics platforms (TMS, WMS, CRM) and data-driven decision making

What You’ll Do:

• Lead the charge in national and global transportation strategy
• Oversee end-to-end operations including LTL/FTL, warehousing, last-mile, and drayage
• Grow revenue through strategic sales, client development, and market expansion
