• You go high and you go low. You’re able to take insights from time spent on the floor and distill them into actionable and scalable initiatives for the business
• You have 3+ years’ experience in on-the-ground warehousing or logistics, preferably in the 3PL space.
• You have a Bachelor’s Degree in a related field
