About the Job

Every Slide appliance, from compact miniPCs to rackmount systems, has to reach MSP partners on time, intact, and fully compliant, wherever they are in the world. We're hiring a Logistics Lead to own our domestic and international shipping operations end to end. This is a senior individual contributor role with end-to-end ownership of Slide’s logistics function. You'll set the processes, own the compliance picture, and stay hands-on with outbound fulfillment, carrier management, and inventory flow. We're looking for someone with deep experience in international shipping who knows the rules, regulations, and paperwork cold, and who can build a logistics function that scales as Slide grows.

Responsibilities

- Serve as the in-house expert on international shipping rules and regulations: Incoterms, HS classification, export controls, and country-specific import requirements

- Identify opportunities to reduce duties, taxes, and shipping costs through accurate tariff classification and applicable trade programs, partnering with external experts as needed

- Ensure accurate serial, order, and tracking linkage across shipping and inventory systems

- Set and enforce packing standards for high-value electronics to prevent damage and meet international compliance requirements

- Own processes and controls for inbound receiving, inventory intake, tagging, stock location accuracy, and cycle counts

- Maintain shipping SOPs, compliance checklists, and audit-ready records

- Work closely with hardware assembly, operations, and finance teams on shipping costs, forecasts, and deployment schedules

- Establish and track logistics KPIs, including on-time delivery, shipping cost, customs delays, damage rates, and inventory accuracy; identify trends and drive improvements.

- Identify opportunities to automate, simplify, and scale shipping and inventory workflows as order volume and international reach grow

- Train and mentor Logistics Associates; set the quality bar for the logistics function

Qualifications

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.
