DIRECTOR OF LOGISTICS

This is a very rare, very attractive opportunity with an extremely successful company at the top of their industry who is seeking a similarly high-quality and successful Logistics leader to grow the next stage of their business. The right person will receive an already-running 100+ truck fleet and given the mandate to optimize existing operations, and then create, propose, justify and execute a plan for the next stage of this business unit’s operations. Ideal candidates will have VP, GM, Director, or similar levels of experience managing a large fleet or running a standalone trucking company. The primary purpose of this position is to more fully utilize our existing fleet, improve existing operations including meeting on-time delivery and cost goals to our dedicated customers, and provide strategic leadership to one of the most important arms of this well-regarded organization. If that sounds like something you’ve done before and think you can succeed at again, please reach out by applying today with a resume and salary requirements. Here are a few of the reasons why this position is incredible: You would be top Logistics professional in the company, reporting to the corporate President. You will join an outstanding team that is fully trained, business is booming... this is NOT a turnaround situation. You would add fuel to the fire, growing and motivating a team and ensuring they have the tools required to execute their jobs, as well to achieve future goals as you grow the division. The company culture is unique in that they hire “good people” first. The team employed here is second-to-none both in performance and personality. Everyone is moving in the same direction. Their client list is a who’s who of their industry. Not only is this company a well-known name, but all of their customers are names you’ll regularly see on the shelves of every big-box hardware store and even likely on the components that were used to build your home. If you want to play in the big leagues, this is it. You will be a key part of determining not only your team’s goals, but also in shaping the future of this (and potentially other) companies…you will be very involved with all key corporate developments. You can identify, hire and train new team members to perpetuate your goals. Outstanding benefits, and a good pay/bonus package.
