  • Coordinate with Engineering, Manufacturing, and Field Operations to ensure aircraft, spare parts, batteries, seeding materials, and support equipment are available ahead of mission requirements.
  • Establish regional storage locations, distribution routes, and contingency plans to support expansion and rapid deployment.

  • Ensure compliance with applicable transportation, hazardous materials, customs, and import/export requirements.
  • Hire, train, and lead the logistics team; resolve critical shortages and transportation issues supporting field operations.

Qualifications

  • 6-10 years of progressively responsible experience in logistics, transportation, warehousing, inventory management, supply chain operations, or a related field.
  • Demonstrated experience building a logistics function, network, or major capability from an early or undefined stage into a disciplined, scalable operation.
  • Experience leading logistics in a fast-growing, operationally complex, or geographically distributed environment.
  • Strong record of creating processes and systems where limited infrastructure, incomplete information, or unclear ownership previously existed.
  • Willingness and ability to operate as a hands-on leader, moving comfortably between long-term strategy, process design, team leadership and direct operational problem solving.
  • Experience supporting time-sensitive deployments, field operations, manufacturing operations, or complex technical equipment.
  • Strong knowledge of domestic transportation, warehousing, inventory controls, serialized asset management, reverse logistics, and third-party logistics management.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
