This may include occasional remote work, starting the day with morning meetings from home before heading to the office, or leaving earlier when needed to accommodate family commitments.

About the role

We are looking for a high-impact logistics professional who thrives in rapidly evolving environments where speed, ownership, and communication are critical.

• Ability to cut through ambiguity to make concrete and sound decisions
• Thorough understanding of complex trade compliance processes and risks
• Ability to rapidly prioritize and execute in a fast-paced environment
• Bachelor's Degree in supply chain management, logistics, finance, business, or related field

Nice to have:

• MBA or advanced degree in finance, business, or engineering
• Experience with the Google suite of tools (e.g. Google Sheets, Google Docs)
• Experience using Slack on a professional level
• Experience working in a rapidly evolving startup environment
• Experience with vehicle or hardware logistics (automotive, aerospace, robotics, defense)
