Logistics Manager

We are hiring a Logistics Manager to take full ownership of freight operations for a growing manufacturing company in the Elkhart area.

This role is logistics-heavy (primary focus)—managing inbound/outbound freight, working with brokers/3PLs, and driving cost savings and efficiency.

In addition, this position will support sales and operations, including assisting with customer quotes, pricing, and customer follow-up.

If you come from a freight brokerage, 3PL, or manufacturing logistics background, this is a strong opportunity to step into a high-visibility role with direct impact on operations and profitability.

Responsibilities

Manage all inbound and outbound freight (flatbed + standard shipments)
Work directly with freight brokers, carriers, and 3PL partners
Negotiate rates and manage carrier relationships
Optimize load planning to maximize efficiency and reduce cost
Own freight P&L, cost control, and margin improvement
Coordinate shipments with production, customers, and dealers
Support sales and operations with quoting, pricing, and customer follow-up
Track shipments and resolve delays or issues proactively
Manage shipping documentation and logistics processes
Evaluate lanes, carriers, and routing strategies

Qualifications

3–7+ years of experience in logistics, transportation, or freight brokerage.
Experience working with freight brokers / 3PLs
Strong experience with flatbed and standard freight
Proven ability to manage freight costs, margins, and load planning
Ability to support sales/operations functions (quoting, customer interaction)
Strong organizational and problem-solving skills
Experience with ERP, TMS, or logistics systems preferred

Why This Role Stands Out

Own and control all freight operations
Direct exposure to VP of Operations and leadership team
Blend of logistics + operations + customer-facing responsibilities
Opportunity to grow within a stable, expanding manufacturing company
Bonus Opportunities
