Logistics coordinator

Are you a master of movement? Do you thrive in the fast-paced "engine room" of the supply chain?

We are looking for a sharp, proactive Logistics Coordinator to become the operational backbone of our client's global supply chain. In this role, you won't just watch the freight move-you'll control the board. From booking carriers and optimizing routes to tackling shipping bottlenecks in real-time, you will be the primary liaison ensuring our goods get from point A to point B without a hitch.

What You'll Do Daily:

• Coordinate the Freight: Schedule and dispatch LTL, FTL, and small parcel shipments, securing the best daily carrier capacity.
• Master the Paperwork: Generate and audit critical logistics documents (BOLs, packing slips, customs invoices).
• Track & Troubleshoot: Proactively monitor shipment ETAs and act as the first line of defense to resolve transit delays and OS&D exceptions.
• Sync the Systems: Keep our digital inventory flawlessly reconciled with the warehouse floor using our ERP/WMS platforms.

What You Bring to the Table:

• Experience: 3-5 years of hands-on experience in a warehouse office, traffic department, or freight forwarding environment.
• Tech Savvy: Familiarity with ERP/WMS systems (like SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, or Odoo) and strong Excel skills (Pivot Tables, VLOOKUPs).
• The Mindset: A calm-under-pressure problem solver who communicates clearly and adapts instantly when shipping disruptions happen.
