  • Ensure orders are picked and shipped accurately and on time
  • Perform weekly cycle counts for key SKUs and maintain inventory accuracy in WMS
  • Conduct random quality control checks on inbound and outbound orders
  • Keep the warehouse clean, organized, and compliant with safety standards

Logistics & Cost Management

  • Manage and schedule inbound and outbound shipments
  • Bid out freight, assign carriers, and select the most cost-effective and reliable shipping options
  • Send ASN’s, create loads, upload signed BOLs, and coordinate with customer requirements
  • Audit shipping invoices for accuracy and identify areas for cost savings
  • Work closely with the purchasing and sales teams to coordinate priorities and meet delivery expectations

Continuous Improvement

  • Evaluate warehouse and logistics processes regularly and recommend improvements
  • Implement best practices to improve efficiency, reduce errors, and lower operating costs
  • Review carrier performance to ensure optimal service and pricing

  • Experience managing freight costs, carrier selection, and invoice auditing
  • Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills
