Step into a high-impact leadership role where you’ll run the heartbeat of operations—logistics and dispatch. In this role, you’ll own the end-to-end movement of goods while ensuring real-time coordination of drivers, routes, and deliveries.

  • Develop strategies that improve routing, scheduling, and overall supply chain efficiency

  • Oversee transportation, warehousing, inventory, and distribution activities

  • Manage daily dispatch functions—assigning routes, coordinating drivers, and troubleshooting in real time

  • Monitor KPIs, identify inefficiencies, and implement process improvements that drive results

  • Partner with internal teams (procurement, production, sales) to keep operations aligned and proactive

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with vendors, carriers, and 3PL partners

  • Ensure compliance with regulations, safety standards, and internal processes

  • Identify and execute cost-saving initiatives, including route optimization and resource allocation

  • Lead, coach, and develop a high-performing logistics and dispatch team


What we’re looking for:
