Goods don't move themselves from a supplier's dock to a customer's doorstep — someone has to plan every leg of that journey, catch the delays before they cascade, and keep costs from creeping up along the way. We're hiring a Remote Logistics Manager to run exactly that operation, at USD 95,000 a year, fully remote.
The Job in Plain Terms
You'd own the full supply chain — sourcing, transportation, warehousing, distribution — end to end. That means building a logistics strategy that actually supports the business, not just optimizing shipping routes in isolation. You'd manage vendor and carrier relationships, keep inventory levels sane, and lead a remote team through all of it.What the Role Covers
Strategy and Coordination
- Build logistics strategies that connect directly to broader business goals.
- Work across procurement, sales, and customer service so logistics decisions don't happen in a silo.
- Track how well current strategies are performing and adjust course when the data says to.
Supply Chain Oversight
- Manage the full chain — sourcing, procurement, transportation, warehousing, distribution.
- Keep suppliers, vendors, and third-party logistics providers working with you, not just for you.
- Push continuously for a more efficient, more reliable supply chain without letting service quality slip.
Inventory and Transportation
- Run inventory control systems that keep stock levels balanced — enough to meet demand, not so much it ties up capital.
- Coordinate transportation routes and schedules to keep delivery timelines on track.
- Negotiate carrier contracts and step in fast when transportation performance dips.
Budget and Risk
- Own the logistics budget and identify cost savings without sacrificing service.
- Spot risks in the supply chain early — disruptions, delays, shortages — and build mitigation plans before they're needed.
- Keep contingency plans up to date so the team isn't scrambling when something unexpected hits.
Compliance, Team, and Technology
- Ensure all logistics activities comply with applicable laws and industry standards.
- Lead a remote logistics team with real coaching, not just task assignment.
- Bring in logistics software, analytics tools, and automation where they genuinely improve the operation.
What You'll Need
Education: Bachelor's degree in logistics, supply chain management, business administration, or a related field (minimum requirement). Experience: A track record of 5+ years working in logistics or supply chain roles, with 2 of those years spent specifically in a management capacity.- Solid command of transportation, warehousing, and inventory management processes.
- Sharp analytical instincts — you make calls based on data, not just gut feel.
- Comfort with logistics management software and related technology platforms.
- Leadership experience, ideally including managing a remote team specifically.
- Strong communication skills across internal teams and external partners alike.
- Working knowledge of the laws and regulations that govern logistics and supply chain operations.
