About GORUCK

GORUCK builds gear that lasts, and our logistics need to match. We aren't looking for a passive manager; we’re looking for an architect. Logistics at GORUCK isn't about tracking status updates—it’s about engineering a system that moves products from factory to customer with zero manual friction. If you think spreadsheets are a substitute for an automated system, you won’t fit here. If you’re ready to build, optimize, and own the flow, keep reading.

What You’ll Do

• Drive Inbound Workflows: Design, automate, and execute shipment orchestration from 12 global factories to strategically located distribution centers, taking direct ownership of the flow of goods to eliminate delays.
• Inventory Optimization & Strategy: Architect end-to-end inventory flows to ensure the right product is in the right node at the right time. Engineer supply reconciliation logic to proactively steer distribution and resolve bottlenecks, eliminating stockouts before they impact the customer.
• Execute the PO Lifecycle: Build and run the framework for end-to-end purchase order execution, driving the process through automated validation, status tracking, and aggressive error-detection.
• Scale Operational Visibility: Build and maintain the analytics infrastructure to provide real-time visibility into cost, quality, and transit data, driving automated decision-making.
• Actively Steer the Supply Chain: Create and use "Control Tower" data to make real-time decisions, resolve operational bottlenecks, and take direct action to keep goods moving, rather than just monitoring for passive status updates.
• Execute Exception Management: Develop and drive a "Management by Exception" system to replace manual intervention with decisive action triggers, ensuring standardized corrective responses to all delays. 
• Partner on Systems Strategy: Collaborate cross-functionally to integrate supply chain data with product launch roadmaps, ensuring technical scalability supports business growth.

Who You Are

You’ve probably cut your teeth in complex logistics for high-growth brands—if you work at a big company where process trumps results, you’re unlikely to fit our culture.

• Supply Chain & Logistics Foundation: 5+ years of hands-on experience in complex logistics and supply chain operations, with a proven track record of building systems, not just operating them.
• Vendor Engineering: Experience moving beyond "managing" vendors to engineering vendor accountability via SLA-driven portals and automated audit systems.
• Logistics Architecture: Strong grasp of freight, fulfillment, and cost-control modeling with an emphasis on scalability through technology.
• Technical & Analytics Proficiency: Proficient in translating complex supply chain data into actionable reporting. Experience with WMS/ERP integrations, API-based tracking, and building automated dashboards to manage performance.
• Systems Architecting: Demonstrated experience automating manual procurement or fulfillment workflows.

What Sets You Apart

• Visionary: You instinctively design workflows that eliminate human touchpoints, reducing operations to high-efficiency, exception-only management.
• Logistics Engineer: You approach logistical bottlenecks as technical problems to be solved with permanent, scalable architecture, not temporary troubleshooting.
• Systems Architect: You treat manual data entry as technical debt and ruthlessly prioritize building integrated, automated solutions over hiring headcount.
• Decisive Automation: You possess a clear framework for when to build custom solutions vs. when to leverage off-the-shelf tools, maximizing speed to value.
• KPI Architect: You don't just "report" data; you design dashboards that drive automated, binary decision-making (e.g., if X happens, the system automatically does Y).

Why GORUCK

• Zero corporate fluff: We train hard, move fast, and back everything with a lifetime guarantee.
• Own the flow: You aren't managing a process; you’re shaping the company’s strategic direction from the ground floor.
• Real perks: GORUCK-sponsored insurance, 401(k), and generous PTO.
• The Community: Unlimited, free entry to GORUCK events and deep discounts on gear.
• The Team: You’ll work with teammates who believe in earning it, leading from the front, and prioritizing relentless execution.
