About Us:
We are a rapidly expanding logistics solutions company partnering with manufacturers, distributors, and shippers nationwide. Our mission is to help businesses move freight smarter, faster, and more cost-effectively. As we continue to scale, we are seeking senior leadership talent capable of driving operational excellence and shaping the future of our logistics organization.

The Opportunity:
We’re looking for a Director of Operations with deep expertise in transportation, logistics, and supply chain strategy. This individual will oversee multi-channel operational workflows, lead high-performing teams, optimize carrier networks, and build the systems that support sustainable growth. If you’ve managed large-scale logistics operations, led cross-functional teams, improved process efficiency, and driven operational KPIs at a high level — this role offers the chance to take that experience to the next stage.

Responsibilities:

  • Provide strategic leadership across all logistics and operations functions, ensuring efficient and cost-effective freight movement.
  • Oversee carrier management, operational processes, and service-level performance across multiple transportation modes.
  • 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.
