Director, Global Logistics & Operations (Starlink)
SPACE EXPLORATION TECHNOLOGIES CORP
Director, Global Logistics & Operations (Starlink) Bastrop, TX SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of enabling human life on Mars. Starlink is a revolutionary satellite constellation delivering low‑latency broadband internet around the world—bringing an unprecedented opportunity to significantly impact communities, businesses, and governments worldwide. In the United States, Starlink is rapidly expanding access to high‑speed internet for rural, suburban, and underserved communities. Reporting directly to the VP of Business Operations, the Director of Global Logistics Operations will lead the end‑to‑end execution of our shipping, logistics, and associated activities as we rapidly scale. This role is pivotal in delivering cost‑effective, agile, and scalable operations across our complex global network to 155 and growing countries, territories and jurisdictions where Starlink equipment and services are shipped and sold. As Starlink equipment is manufactured in the US, the ideal candidate will leverage deep expertise in US Duty Drawback programs—particularly manufacturing substitutions for extensive Bills of Materials (BOMs)—to unlock operational cost savings and enhance efficiency in our high‑volume trade flows. Responsibilities Lead the strategic planning, execution, and optimization of global shipping and logistics operations, including carrier selection and management, freight forwarding, warehousing, distribution, and last‑mile delivery to 155+ countries. Advise on supply chain network design, focusing on inventory optimization and strategic cost‑savings opportunities. Run a robust and efficient import, export and duty drawback program, managing complex BOMs to maximize recoveries and integrate into broader operational cost strategies. Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (e.g., procurement, manufacturing, finance) and external partners to streamline import/export processes, identify bottlenecks, and implement operational improvements for seamless global flow. Optimize costs through logistics efficiency, tariff engineering, free trade agreement leverage, and supplier negotiations, targeting measurable gains in speed, reliability, and profitability. Build and lead a high‑performing team of logistics and operations specialists, promoting a culture of execution, innovation, and accountability. Monitor evolving global trade dynamics (e.g., tariffs, supply disruptions) and adapt operations proactively to ensure business continuity and resilience. Partner with external providers, such as freight forwarders and customs brokers, to resolve operational issues and enhance end‑to‑end visibility. Deliver executive‑level reporting on key operational metrics (e.g., delivery performance, cost per shipment, duty recovery impacts) and recommend data‑driven enhancements to senior leadership. Basic Qualifications 10+ years of professional experience in global logistics and supply chain operations. 5+ years of direct people leadership experience within manufacturing or consumer goods industries. Preferred Skills and Experience Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to align operations at executive levels. Expertise in US Duty Drawback programs, with proven hands‑on experience in manufacturing substitution for complex, multi‑tiered BOMs and multimillion‑dollar operational recoveries. Strong operational knowledge of international shipping practices, Incoterms, HS classifications, and supply chain tools. Demonstrated success in managing high‑volume, time‑sensitive logistics for consumer electronics, including components and finished goods across diverse markets. Proven leadership in building and motivating global teams and third‑party networks, with a focus on operational excellence. Analytical and metrics‑oriented mindset; experience driving performance through data analytics and process improvements. Additional Requirements Ability to travel occasionally. This position is based in Bastrop and requires an on‑site presence—remote work is not considered. Must be able to work extended hours and weekends as needed. Must meet U.S. Government export regulations; applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, refugee, asylee, or eligible for required authorizations.
