Job Description

Logistics Coordinator

About the client

Futura Search Partners is working on this search with a company building AI compute infrastructure at a scale and pace the industry has not operated at, deploying across multiple sites simultaneously.

The Logistics team

Some of the problems the team is working on:

• Decide what lives on site, what lives an hour out, and what lives twelve hours out. The material disposition strategy is being built from scratch for a fleet scaling across multiple sites at once, and getting that placement logic right is the difference between a blocked site and one that never stops.
• Move off third-party warehousing and stand up their own. Transitioning out of 3PL-run warehouses and building the operation in-house, on their own footprint and their own rules.
• Build and integrate their own warehouse, inventory and transportation management systems. No off-the-shelf stack covers a build at this scale, so the systems get built and connected in-house, end to end.

Role scope

• Book and schedule shipments across the network, coordinating pickup and delivery windows directly with the carrier and receiving sites.
• Track every shipment in transit through the TMS, checking ETAs against committed windows and flagging at-risk deliveries before they hit a site.
• Chase missed SLAs to root cause with the carrier and drive each one to resolution, not just a note in the log.
• Own the day-to-day relationship with the dedicated carrier: rates, capacity, service issues and escalations.
• Keep shipment and carrier performance data current in the TMS and turn it into a running view of who’s hitting SLA and who isn’t.

What we’re looking for

The below is a starting point. They make space for exceptional people, so if you don’t fit this exactly, tell us where you would.

• You’ve personally booked and managed shipments end to end, from carrier booking through delivery confirmation, across a network of multiple sites or destinations.
• You track shipments obsessively: you know an ETA is slipping before the site does, and you say something before they have to ask.
• You’ve owned a carrier relationship where you knew the account rep, the ops manager and the actual truck schedule well enough to solve problems without escalating.
• You’ve chased a missed SLA to its actual cause rather than writing it off, and you can describe what changed afterwards.
• You’re fluent in a transportation management system: booking, tracking, exception handling, and pulling the reports that tell you what’s really happening.
• You keep shipment data clean and current under real volume, so nobody downstream has to double-check your numbers.

How they operate

High ownership and full autonomy — people here own things end to end and take on scope outside their core role without being asked. Everything moves as fast as it can. Assumptions get challenged from first principles, with no egos and the best idea winning. Long hours at high intensity, because the frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time.

Salary and benefits
