Reverse Logistics Specialist

A reverse logistics specialist manages what happens after a product has already been sold or used. That includes customer returns, damaged goods, recalls, leftover packaging, and items that can be refurbished, resold, recycled, or disposed of safely. On a typical day you might map how returned items move through a warehouse, decide whether a product goes back on the shelf or to a recycler, work with carriers and vendors, and look for ways to cut cost and waste. You split your time between warehouses or distribution centers and an office with spreadsheets and supply chain software.
