Pay: $50,000–$56,000 per year, depending on qualifications
Schedule: Full-time, Monday–Friday, [start time]–[end time], on-site

About Us
Bonji Foods is a growing New Jersey frozen smoothie bowl base and sorbet manufacturer. We produce bulk sorbet (açaí, pitaya, mango, coconut and more) for açaí shops, cafés, restaurants, colleges and multi-unit operators across the Northeast and beyond. We ship full truckloads to 20+ distributors and run our own direct delivery routes. We’re a lean, family-run team, and this role has a real impact on how our products get to customers.

The Role
We’re looking for an organized, sharp, and persistent person to run our outbound logistics and finished goods inventory. You’ll coordinate truckloads with brokers, carriers, and third-party warehouses. You’ll also oversee our local direct-to-customer deliveries and the inventory that supports them, keeping orders, stock, drivers, and customers on the same page every day. You’ll report directly to ownership. No logistics experience is required. We’ll train you. What we need is someone who follows through, communicates clearly, and doesn’t let mistakes slide.

This is a career-building role. As we grow, so does this position.

What You’ll Do

Freight & Third-Party Logistics

• Work with freight brokers and carriers to get shipments delivered on time at the best cost
• Coordinate with our third-party warehouses to set up and release orders
• Hold warehouses and carriers accountable for damages, shortages, and errors, and pursue claims and credits through to resolution
• Book delivery appointments with the team, balancing customer relationships, production schedules, and inventory
• Help develop logistics plans, rules, and guidelines, including minimum order quantities (MOQs) and lead times for our distributor network

Direct-to-Customer Deliveries & Inventory

• Oversee our order-taking workflow and make sure every account is contacted daily
• Track finished goods inventory for our direct-delivery customers so the right product is on hand for every route
• Speak with purchaser to help build orders for the customers you manage
• Flag low stock early and coordinate with production to keep direct accounts supplied
• Coordinate between order taking and accounts receivable so that orders only ship to customers whose accounts are current
• Direct our delivery driver(s): assign daily routes and special tasks, and stay in contact throughout the day
• Give customers accurate delivery ETAs and answer questions about where their order is

Fleet Management

• Manage our truck rental account and review every invoice for billing errors
• Schedule routine vehicle maintenance
• Maintain required DOT records and compliance information

Additional Responsibilities

• Process customer credit card payments
• Support accounts receivable with collections outreach
• Build reports and track KPIs for ownership, such as freight cost per shipment, on-time delivery, claims recovered, inventory accuracy, and order volume

Your First 90 Days

• Learn our products, customers, and daily order and delivery workflow
• Take over daily driver routing and direct-account inventory tracking
• Begin booking truckloads with our brokers and coordinating with our third-party warehouses

What We’re Looking For

• Strong organization and follow-through. You keep track of many moving pieces at once
• Confident, professional communication by phone, text, and email
• Comfortable holding vendors accountable and pushing back politely but firmly
• Comfortable with Excel or Google Sheets; reporting skills are a plus
• A problem-solver who wants to build processes, not just follow them
• Someone looking for a long-term career path in operations and supply chain
• Bachelor’s or associate’s degree in supply chain, business, or a related field preferred
• Prior logistics, inventory, or operations experience is a plus, but not required
• [Valid driver’s license, if needed]

Benefits

• Employer-paid health insurance after 3 months
• 401(k) plan 
• Paid time off
• Hands-on training and room to grow as the company scales
