Vendor chess. The occasional plot twist when a shipment decides to take the scenic route. If that sounds like your kind of Tuesday, keep reading — because we're looking for someone who doesn't just manage logistics, they own it. This is a role for someone who gets a genuine kick out of solving the puzzle before anyone else even sees it. You'll run freight strategy, be the accountable owner of our 3PL relationship, and sit close enough to leadership that your recommendations actually shape decisions — not just execute them.As a bonus plot twist, you'll also cross-train into forecasting and purchasing — not to own it day-to-day, but so you're the trusted backup who can step in without missing a beat if that seat ever needs covering. Think of it as building your own understudy skillset while staying the lead in your own show.Why This Role?Real ownership over a function — you shape how it runs, not just how it's executedA direct line to leadership — your ideas and recommendations actually move thingsVariety built in — freight strategy one day, vendor negotiation the next, forecasting cross-training after thatRoom to grow as the role grows — this isn't a static job description,
