Customer Head of Operations (Logistics/Warehousing)

Job Type


Full-time

Description

Summary

As a Customer Head of Operations at ShipCalm, you will own the operational success of a portfolio of small to mid-sized brand partners. Reporting to the Head of Brand Operations, you will act as the internal advocate and performance lead for your accounts-driving execution across fulfillment, inventory, returns, integrations, and customer experience.


This is a hands-on, cross-functional role that requires operational problem-solving, strategic alignment, and strong communication. You will coordinate across internal teams-including Warehouse (3PL), Tech, Accounting, and Brand Operations-to ensure issues are resolved quickly, goals are clearly translated into execution plans, and clients are positioned for long-term success.

The ideal candidate is an operational generalist with experience in logistics or fulfillment, comfortable in both fast-paced execution and client-facing strategy. You're detail-oriented, proactive, and confident navigating between internal stakeholders and external partners.

ShipCalm is a third-party operations partner (3PO) redefining outsourced logistics by embedding directly into brand operations-not just shipping boxes, but solving upstream and downstream challenges. Learn more about us at our website: .
