Logistics Operations Manager

A logistics operations manager runs the daily activity that gets products through warehouses and distribution centers. You decide how many people to schedule, how orders are picked and packed, how trucks are loaded, and how problems are handled when things go wrong. You watch performance numbers such as accuracy, speed, and cost, and you work with supervisors to hit service goals. The environment is fast and hands-on, often on a warehouse floor rather than behind a desk all day. Safety is always part of the job, so you also run training and walk the floor to spot hazards early.
