[Hiring] Senior Logistics Specialist @Teamswell

Role Description

We are currently looking for a Senior Logistics Specialist who will be responsible for leading and optimizing end-to-end international logistics operations. This position goes beyond traditional shipment coordination, combining strategic supply chain leadership, cost optimization, compliance expertise, and operational execution.

In Teamswell, every team member has an instrumental role and impact on the success of our business and our clients’ success. We seek highly motivated individuals who thrive in a fast-paced work environment, who are intelligent, eager to work hard, reliable, and able to communicate effectively with all levels of an organization. Our Senior Logistics Specialist will possess the skills and experience required, as well as a positive attitude and ability to solve complex problems and work in a fast-paced and rapidly changing environment.

We value people who are good communicators, quick learners, scrappy about finding creative solutions to problems, and conscious of their work quality. We expect all our team members to deliver excellence in both technical expertise and in their everyday relationships with their team.

• Lead end-to-end international logistics operations, encompassing ocean, air, and inland freight from high-level strategy through granular execution.
• Negotiate directly with freight forwarders, carriers, and logistics providers to aggressively reduce costs while simultaneously improving service levels.
• Build and manage a reliable, direct logistics/vendor network, moving beyond a reliance on brokers to ensure supply chain resilience.
• Design and implement initiatives that deliver measurable cost savings, improved transit times, and streamlined operational workflows.
• Serve as the primary authority on U.S. import/export compliance, auditing all documentation and processes to mitigate regulatory risk.
• Independently resolve complex shipment disruptions and logistics crises with authority, implementing corrective actions without the need for constant escalation.
• Work closely with Sales and Procurement leadership to align logistics strategies with broader business priorities and planning cycles.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of progressive experience in global logistics or supply chain operations, with a proven track record of handling high-volume international shipments.
• A demonstrated ability to think in terms of margins and business impact, rather than just operational execution.
• Deep understanding of U.S. Customs regulations, trade compliance frameworks, Incoterms, and international documentation processes.
• Experience working with freight forwarders, carriers, customs brokers, and transportation providers.
• A history of successful direct negotiations with global carriers and logistics partners.
• Advanced skills in logistics platforms, ERP systems, and the Microsoft Office Suite (particularly Excel for data-driven recommendations).
• High attention to detail with strong documentation accuracy.
• Strong organizational and multitasking skills in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability to prioritize tasks and manage multiple shipments simultaneously.
