Job summary

Mytra is seeking a Manager of Logistics to build and lead the logistics function during rapid growth. You will own inbound logistics to Brisbane, CA, outbound to deployment sites, and direct-ship handling for structural components, including returnable packaging.

You’ll establish the strategy, scale the team, and manage freight forwarders and 3PLs. The role emphasizes end-to-end execution, process discipline, and collaboration across supply chain and deployment teams, with on-site

Qualifications

Have 5–8 years of experience in international logistics operations - specifically managing supplier-origin freight to manufacturing facilities and/or constrained field deployment environments.
Have 1–3 years of experience building and leading logistics teams - coming in with a manager’s mindset, not just an operator’s.
Are experienced owning freight forwarding relationships, customs brokerage, and import/export compliance without relying on a dedicated trade team.
Have hands-on experience selecting, onboarding, and managing 3PL partners from scratch - building the commercial and operational relationship, not inheriting one.
Understand the realities of construction site and deployment logistics: sequenced deliveries, laydown space management, and the cost of a shipment arriving at the wrong time or in the wrong order.
Have experience owning returnable packaging systems — including outsourcing design and supply, managing return loops, and scaling packaging operations.
Solutions focused - success at developing plan B,C and D’s and in fixing logistics issues that have occurred
Are disciplined about building process in ambiguous environments — comfortable starting from scratch, and rigorous enough to document and systematize what they build so it scales.

Responsibilities

Build and lead Mytra’s logistics function - developing the team, defining the operating model, and owning end-to-end execution across all material paths: supplier to our manufacturing site in Brisbane, CA; Brisbane to customer deployment sites; and supplier direct to customer deployment sites.
Own inbound logistics from our global supply base to Brisbane - aligning freight plans with supplier production schedules to ensure components arrive when needed to support product manufacturing, managing carrier relationships, and maintaining visibility across all inbound shipments.
Own outbound logistics from Brisbane to customer deployment sites - coordinating the movement of completed systems from our manufacturing site to end customers, managing carriers and 3PLs, and ensuring on-time, undamaged delivery.
Manage direct-ship logistics for structural components - coordinating supplier-to-site freight for large steel and structural parts, where delivery sequencing and laydown space at active construction sites must be actively managed.
Own the returnable packaging system end-to-end - defining standards, outsourcing design and supply, managing returnable loops for spare parts and components, and ensuring the system scales with deployment volume.
Select, onboard, and manage freight forwarders, customs brokers, 3PLs, and domestic carriers - building commercial relationships, setting performance expectations, and holding partners accountable.
Own import compliance: customs documentation, HTS classification, country-of-origin requirements, and proactive risk management across Mytra’s international supply base.
Build visibility and reporting across the logistics network — tracking all material in motion, surfacing risks early, and keeping internal stakeholders reliably informed.
Develop logistics tools, systems and processes to ensure efficiency in execution, accountability, and visibility across teams.
