Head of Supply Chain & Logistics

Employment Status: Full-Time, Benefits Eligible

Location: On-Site at Gymreapers HQ in Nampa, ID (20 mins outside of Boise, ID)

Reports To: Director of Logistics

Logistics Coordinator

Gymreapers is a high‑growth ecommerce brand selling premium fitness and lifting gear across Shopify DTC, Amazon, TikTok Shop, and major retail partners including Walmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Scheels. We source product internationally and fulfil domestically from our internalised warehouse operation, with freight spend growing in line with aggressive revenue targets.

We are seeking a Logistics Manager to own the strategy, design, and performance of our logistics network. This is not a coordination role — we have a strong Logistics Coordinator who handles day‑to‑day execution. This role is for someone who can operate at a higher level: designing the carrier and freight network, owning carrier relationships and contract negotiations, identifying structural cost and service improvements, and building the logistics infrastructure that scales with the business.

You will set the direction for how product moves — inbound from overseas and outbound to every customer and retail partner — and hold carriers, brokers, and 3PLs accountable to that standard. The right candidate thinks in network design and unit economics, not just shipment tracking.

Logistics Network Design and Strategy: Own the design and ongoing optimisation of Gymreapers’ freight network — inbound and outbound — to deliver the best combination of cost, speed, and reliability at scale.

Design and continuously evaluate the inbound freight network: origin consolidation strategy, port selection, mode mix (ocean vs. air), and routing from overseas vendors to the DC

Develop and maintain the outbound network strategy: carrier mix, zone skipping opportunities, regional carrier utilisation, and mode selection by channel and order profile

Model freight network scenarios to quantify trade‑offs between cost, transit time, and service level — and make recommendations with clear unit economics

Lead the evaluation and selection of new carriers, freight forwarders, brokers, and logistics partners as the network evolves

Build the logistics roadmap in partnership with the Director of Logistics: what the network needs to look like at $150M+ and what investments and changes get us there

Carrier Ownership and Contract Management: Own all carrier and logistics partner relationships at the strategic level — from contract negotiation through ongoing performance accountability.

Lead carrier RFPs and contract negotiations for parcel, LTL, ocean, air, and drayage — owning rate, service terms, and performance SLAs

Maintain carrier scorecards and drive formal quarterly business reviews with key carriers and freight partners

Hold carriers accountable to contracted performance —escalate failures, enforce SLA remedies, and manage carrier exits when warranted

Manage the Amazon partnered carrier programme relationship and optimise FBA transportation costs and compliance

Freight Cost Ownership and Unit Economics: Own logistics cost as a business metric — managing spend against budget and driving structural cost reduction across all freight modes.

Own freight cost per unit as a KPI across inbound and outbound modes — tracking weekly, reporting monthly, and driving toward targets

Identify and execute structural cost reduction initiatives: consolidation, zone optimisation, mode shift, contract renegotiation, and routing improvements

Build and maintain a freight cost model that reflects current network performance and projects forward costs under different volume and mix scenarios

Manage freight budget in partnership with the Director of Logistics and finance — owning variance explanation and forecasting

Oversee freight audit programme in partnership with the Logistics Coordinator — ensuring billing accuracy and recovering overcharges

Trade Compliance and International Freight Strategy: Ensure all import activity is compliant, optimised for duty efficiency, and aligned with Gymreapers’ sourcing strategy.

HS code classification accuracy, customs broker management, and import regulatory compliance

Develop and manage the duty drawback programme to maximise duty recovery on eligible imported goods

Monitor trade policy changes — tariffs, country‑of‑origin rules, free trade agreements — and proactively model the financial impact on Gymreapers’ cost structure

Partner with supply chain and sourcing on the logistics implications of vendor diversification, new country‑of‑origin strategies, and changes to inbound routing

Evaluate bonded warehouse, foreign trade zone, or first‑sale valuation strategies as the import volume grows

Team Leadership and Execution Oversight: Lead the Logistics Coordinator and ensure day‑to‑day execution meets the standards set by the network design and carrier strategy.

Directly manage the Logistics Coordinator, providing clear direction, regular feedback, and development toward greater scope

Set execution standards and escalation protocols — the Coordinator handles day‑to‑day freight execution; Build playbooks and operating standards that allow the Coordinator to execute independently with high quality

Partner with the Director of Logistics on headcount planning as logistics volume and complexity grow

Maintain logistics performance visibility and align with warehouse, supply chain, and retail ops on logistics execution.

Own the logistics KPI dashboard: inbound freight cost per CBM, outbound cost per shipment, carrier OTD, detention and demurrage, claims rate, and freight spend vs. Provide weekly logistics performance reporting to the Director of Logistics

Coordinate inbound arrival schedules with the warehouse team to align dock capacity and receiving labour

Partner with supply chain on PO inbound timelines and communicate freight exceptions that affect inventory availability

7–10+ years of logistics experience, with demonstrated ownership of freight network design, carrier strategy, and contract negotiation

Deep knowledge of international freight: ocean, air, customs brokerage, trade compliance, and duty optimisation

Strong analytical capability — can build freight cost models, evaluate network scenarios, and present trade‑off analysis with clear unit economics

Background managing Amazon FBA transportation preferred

Experience with TMS platforms and freight management systems
