Job Summary

We are seeking a professional, proactive, and detailed oriented logistics coordinator to help build out and expand the logistics capabilities. This role will entail primarily coordinating domestic truck shipments and international container bookings to and from our US warehouses as well as directly between suppliers and customers. It will also entail reviewing and reconciling freight accounting, building relationships with new vendors, negotiating the best freight rates, strategizing alternative routes and freight options, and building out and streamlining company freight processes to ensure the highest and most efficient logistics performance.

To be successful in this role, the individual will need to be able to both enjoy and understand the logic of freight coordination. The logistics coordinator should see each week’s logistics plan as a set of puzzle pieces to fit together smoothly – everything from setting up individual trucks to coordinating with warehouse production schedules and proactively resolving trucking issues should be approached with an open minded and problem solving approach with one goal – ensure the smoothest logistics coordination as possible.

Logistics Responsibilities :

• Coordinate domestic trucking for up to 100 trucks / week (with potential for higher volume) across warehouse locations as well as direct shipments between suppliers and customers
• Schedule warehouse shipping plan in coordination with plant managers and production schedule needs
• Build strong rapport and relationships with external freight vendors beyond basic transactional interactions, while serving as a respectable and conscientious representative
• Act as first point of contact for new potential freight broker relationships (especially inbound inquiries) to assess potential opportunities
• Negotiate and continually work on securing better shipping rates as well as alternative routes and creative options to save money on freight services and costs
• Support with additional methods of freight coordination including export bookings, drayage, railcar shipments, imports, and more
• Review freight invoices for all manners of freight (domestic and export) and approve discrepancies and reconciliations in a timely manner to ensure on time payments for all invoices
• Work with operations team to resolve invoice queries
• Coordinate directly with external vendors to reconcile accounts
