[Hiring] Senior Logistics Manager @ŌURA

Role Description

We are looking for a Senior Logistics Manager, Americas Retail Operations to lead all retail logistics across the Americas. In this role, you will lead a team of two direct reports and own both sides of the business: sustaining and optimizing our current retail footprint, and executing flawless new retailer launches.

• Act as the primary logistics lead for all Americas retail channels, optimizing existing accounts while onboarding new retailers in our pipeline.
• Evaluate new retailer routing guides and technical requirements, and set up our 3PL partners to execute error-free launches.
• Enforce compliance across routing guides, packaging and labeling mandates, ASN accuracy, and EDI readiness to protect brand reputation and OTIF performance.
• Drive operational efficiency to increase fulfillment speed and shorten PO-to-delivery time across the Americas.
• Serve as the escalation point for retail logistics issues, with clear root-cause analysis and corrective action.

• Run cost analyses across Prepaid and Collect freight models to find the most profitable distribution path and map our true cost-to-serve by account.
• Create, implement, and own an end-to-end chargeback deduction and dispute process that protects company margins against retail penalties.
• Identify and deliver logistics cost-down initiatives that reduce total retail cost per unit.
• Own the retail logistics KPI scorecard, including OTIF, on-time delivery, PO-to-delivery cycle time, cost per unit, cost-to-serve by account, chargeback and recovery rates, EDI/ASN compliance, and 3PL performance, and run a regular business review that turns the data into supply chain improvements.

• Find manual, repetitive work across retail logistics, such as tracking, PO and ASN reconciliation, 3PL invoice audits, chargeback research, and partner updates, and build AI-assisted solutions that cut time and errors.
• Use AI tools to automate KPI reporting, data extraction, freight spend analysis, and status communication to retailers and internal teams.
• Translate operational requirements into structured prompts, automations, and workflows, serving as the bridge between what the business needs and what AI can do.
• Partner with IT and technical teams on larger automation and system work that improves real-time, end-to-end shipment visibility.
• Apply responsible AI practices: review outputs for accuracy, protect retailer and financial data, and know when AI is not the right tool.
• Evaluate new AI features and tools as they become available and recommend what to adopt.

• Be the cross-functional voice for logistics, partnering with Sales and Account Management in commercial expansion discussions to ensure supply chain readiness.
• Partner with Planning on retailer demand signals, In-Stock %, and Weeks of Supply, and support CPFR conversations with key accounts.
• Work with Trade Compliance and Global Logistics to design the warehouse and distribution network for expansion into Canada and LATAM.

• Manage, train, and mentor a team of two logistics professionals, supporting their growth.
• Build the team's AI capability: share what works, set standards for AI-assisted workflows, and help each team member automate their own recurring work.
• Define the long-term operating blueprint, scaling strategy, and structure for the Americas retail logistics team.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in retail logistics, B2B wholesale distribution, or supply chain operations, including 2+ years of direct people management in a product-shipping industry (e.g., CPG, Consumer Electronics, Apparel).
• Deep expertise in retail compliance and chargeback management, with a track record of analyzing routing guides, managing EDI setups, and building systematic processes to audit and dispute retailer deductions.
• Strong financial and operational analysis skills, including freight cost-to-serve models, Prepaid vs. Collect evaluation, and PO-to-delivery cycle time optimization.
• Fluency with retail logistics KPIs such as OTIF, OTD, fill rate, cost per unit, and chargeback rate, and experience owning a scorecard against targets.
• Proven, hands-on AI proficiency. You already use AI tools to get work done.
• Experience working with ERP, WMS, and/or TMS systems, plus advanced spreadsheet and reporting skills.
• Strong cross-functional communication and influence, with the ability to act as the voice of logistics to sales teams, leadership, retail partners, and 3PLs.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on NetSuite experience, especially sales orders, item fulfillment, and retail/EDI order flows.
• Experience supporting distribution in Canada and/or LATAM alongside Trade Compliance and Global Logistics teams.
• Experience building workflows or automations on AI platforms (enterprise AI assistants, Google Workspace AI, scripting with AI help, or similar).
• Ongoing AI skill development (e.g., prompt and context engineering, agent workflows) and a habit of staying current with new tools.
• Experience with responsible AI practices such as accuracy reviews, risk assessment, and data protection.
• Exposure to CPFR, demand planning, or channel inventory management (Weeks of Supply, In-Stock %) in consumer electronics or retail.
• Multi-channel fulfillment experience across DTC, distributor, and retail partner networks.
• A track record of building or scaling a logistics team in a high-growth environment.
• Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, or a related field.
